Bill, the engine was a stock ST, it came with that crank, I've had it a number of years, probably back from the early 70's. ST made at least one of everything .... dykes ring, right rotation, twin rings, etc .
Dennis, I was gonna put a carbon or wood prop on but that was the only pusher 12" dia that I had handy. Not enough ground clearance for 13". It worked pretty well too.
Lauri, is the DR 60 the Yatsenko motor? What lawn mower engine do you run a 14" 3blade on?
Otias - I love it. ........ my son used to get Otitis Media when he was a kid .....
