Default Replacing a Kohler With A HF Predator in a 99 ezgo

I have a lifted 99 ego workhorse with a Kohler 25 hp twin. The motor was worn out when I bought it,but ran ok for the last year or so. I am looking at the Predator 670 from H.F. to replace the Kohler. The Kohler has a 1.125 shaft and I believe the Predator is 1". Can someone recommend a driven clutch to put on the HF motor? I will use the cart around the property, dragging tools around, getting firewood, etc. Speed is not a real requirement, but torque is. Here is a pic of what the rear pulley looks like, I assume it is factory ezgo? Any other tips to help this transition smoother?Thanks, Tom

I tried to add some links to pics but i am not allowed yet. PM me if you want to look at pics of existing drive train.

I am pretty sure there is a adapter out there to adapt the hf 1" to the 1 1/8" clutch you already have

I'm interested in your clutch if it's a comet 94c, I have a command 30 going into a Workhorse.
I don't think you can pm yet either, I didn't see an option. I'd like to see pics dbaatz@rrv.net

How can I tell if it is a comet?

If you decide on a new primary the comet 780 is a bolt on for the 1" straight shaft predator.

Will that work with the stock ezgo pulley on the rear end? Same belt width?
Do you think this is a good combo, as far as ratios go?

I looked on Vegascarts site on the EZGO swap and there was no mention of changing the secondary as in the case of the club car.
