Almost forgot; I also need the RPM for the snow blower and tiller motors...

OK, I really need to know so that I can plan a bit.  I know the rated RPM 
for the 
mower motors is 3600.  Does anyone know any or all of the following?

The rated or typical input (KW) and/or output power (in KW or HP) for the 
mower motors?

The rated or typical input (KW) and/or output power (in KW or HP) for the 
snow blower motor?

The rated or typical input (KW) and/or output power (in KW or HP) for the 
tiller motor?

I mean continuous power, not short cycle, but that would do if I have to.


I WOULD mount an electric motor, or even two by belt drive IF I can get 
the pully 
ratio right.  To do that, I need RPM and power.  Since I doubt I will get 
an actual 
output power, I can estimate based on input power, but I don't even have 
that.
