Unusual repower, horizontal stacked engines fitted to an MTD

The body is an MTD 26 inch which had an 8.5hp. It was modified to two stacked 5hp's.  Very unusual.  He says a long belt runs from the top to the bottom but not which one or the arrangement.  

That model MTD had dual auger belts driven by pulleys on the crankshaft.  It also had a pulley off the cam PTO which drove the wheels, so three belts.  He must have more than one belt but does not say which, drive or auger is the long one but probably the auger belts were modified to one long one.   

The thing seems to be throwing ok but does not seem like any advantage over what the original 8.5hp would do.
