***Side note: My drive belt is broken. I have no clue what belt size I need. This is the 8hp Tecumseh with an 30" deck. Any clues? I'm getting numbers online from a 30" belt to a 60" belt.
I have a lawnmower I have a project I'm going to try on it: make it able to ford relatively deep water. Deep water as in up to the driver's waist. How would I go about that? Obviously a snorkel type intake would be needed but what about the electrical connections? I'm most worried about those. Would the exhaust need some sort of snorkel as well?
The engine is the exact same as this:
What would I need to do to the cooling fan on top? Give it it's own snorkel as well?
Finally, could the concepts from this project be used on any other type of vehicle?
