Good job getting it up and running- I have a few concerns for longevity though- heating the axle removed the factory heat treating (unless you re-tempered/annealed it again) the axle will probably bend easier now than before. WD-40 on the clutch isn't going to be a long term fix(it's a polymer base, it runs from heat) -you need the spray dry lube(it's a silicone base,it bonds with heat) for the clutch to work properly when it get's hot (PB blaster dry lube works)Your Predator is a Honda clone, not a Tecumseh clone, so I doubt the alternator will work (never tried).
