Hello as you know I am putting in a command motor into a allis chalmer 916 that had a cast iron motor in it I have to thank PhanDad and Bill725 for all their help first I removed the old motor and set in the new on to check fit9156.thumb.jpg.4fb32c1b75dfc4368a57099e1b4edc31.jpgafter cutting the frame9157.thumb.jpg.c6fa296ca8415cd14a3086d6d85d2d31.jpg then the real work started I cleaned up the frame9159.thumb.jpg.1fed34d6595121c0236a9c5166f3c145.jpg9160.thumb.jpg.b587bbbdcd06e052b59684cb8fa2892e.jpg then started the wiring9167.thumb.jpg.3d520fd02a777b36834933da0000ffbb.jpg9165.thumb.jpg.493f0051281e35f1c3b8028e8f850f55.jpgI put a safety so if the oil pressure drops it turns off the motor then I  installed the motor and started to wire it up9168.thumb.jpg.6a9ee09ce5e0f7680f87240df83bdb58.jpgnext I had to change the muffler that came with the motor 9161.thumb.jpg.8a55ef1a49b12296693061ddd3f3649e.jpg9162.thumb.jpg.cdd48ae38defc5f257972a26ed1ef9d7.jpgand get that9163.thumb.jpg.647dd4af61dbea855d24538a4ade94a6.jpg installed after that I figured out how to bypass the interlock module  put some oil and gas in it and it started and ran great

Not at all - -- I was just pullin' your leg.  I know exactly what you mean.  You look at a picture and you say, "How they do that?"

How about the challenge most of us have. How did you do the drive shaft? What model engine was this? Was it a kit or did you somehow luck out and everything just lined up?

Thx

I used the original drive shaft that came with the tractor I just had to space it correctly  by setting in the engine and leaving the yoke on the beveled gear housing loose and then shimmed it using the 2 fiberglass drive shaft disks and spacers   ,its a kohler ch20S that I bought from a private seller it wasn't a kit .I had to drill 2 holes in the motor plate of the tractor the front 2 holes where there from the factoryInked9159_LI.thumb.jpg.9dead8902629294e6b784bf124b6ae37.jpg
but I took cardboard and placed the engine on it and traced the holes I then cut the 4 holes out and placed it in the frame using the 2 front holes put bolts through them and then marked the back 2 and drilled then did a check of the holes

In regards to your oil drain hose, you may want to install a street elbow into the oil pan and run the hose out the front of the frame rather than the thru the side  hole in the frame as it might get in the way of the front tire when turning.
