    Dixon engine swap

    Hey guys. Hoping you can help me out. I just picked up a Dixon ZTR 4515 for $100. the OEM engine was smoking for the guy, so he purchased a used "White" 14.5hp engine to slap on it, and it doesn't have enough power to turn over. I am THINKING I got a pretty good deal, as I am going to check...
