[Shop-talk] Ideas for projects involving a vertical lawn mower engine?

[Jimmie Mayfield]

Tangentially shop-related, I suppose.

Last week I replaced my 15yo push mower.  The old deck was more rust 
than steel these days but the 6HP B&S engine is still in reasonably good 
shape.  Trying to come up with potential re-uses for a small 
vertical-shaft engine before I sell or donate it.

The only things I've come up with are things I already have (generator, 
heavy-duty weed-eater on wheels, pressure washer).

Any ideas?
