Ideas for a 7hp B&S motor

I was gonna sell my lawnmower motor since the deck is all messed up but have decided to just keep it and find another use for it, so I'm seeking ideas. Thanks.

How about getting some quotes from local light-engineering companies and welders for fixing the "messed up" deck? Tell them no regard for looks - you just want it functional again.

A 7hp power plant can run all sorts of stuff if you are a welder???
Ideas: chipper shredder Genarator Welder( small stuff ) Hay baler maybe
also depends on if the shaft comes out the side or bottom
Any way I traded on off for a 22. I got the better deal.

I'm only guessing that the motor in on a riding mower. If the rest of the mower is in opperating condition why not junk the deck and use it for a handy carry-all around the place by hooking it to a good sized lawn cart. You might even put a chair in the cart, and take your wife out once in a while. Isn't there any place around your place you'd like to check out if it weren't so unhandy to walk there? Don't you have brush, dead limbs or leaves to haul somewhere?

Go-kart. Must think play value first.
