I was kinda hoping it was B&S #10....there is a guy on ebay selling #10
to R8 adapters for $90...sigh..and getting a #9 ground to R8 costs $250
plus shipping from Wells-Index. Shrug...but Ive got a full set+ of R8
kicking around in secure storage..so Looks like Im gonna have to bite
the bullet and have it ground to R8.

Hmm ... how different would it be having it ground to NMTB 30?
The taper is the same, it just stops larger on the R8. (And do you have
any NTMB 30 taper tooling?

Im not a big fan of B&S #9..though it does work and Ive got a few pieces
of tooling.

That's more than I have for that taper.

I wish I could find a carcase with NMTP 40 spindle in it....sigh

Understood.

Enjoy,
