Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #1 Posted September 24, 2016 well a b80 followed me home from work today. since the magnum didnt pan out needs something maybe a rebuild lol. here is a b80 plan is to gut the harness out and pull engine. now dont be in a uproar because this thing will be back together soon anyway. monday i am bringing home another b80 thats in peices. so no harm done. now this one here looks to have a engine replacement done block is black rest of engine is red. i also brought home a hood off a c-141 for lights. my work horse 700 will be a good little machine when done. and this b80 will be slowly put back together with parts off parts machine. also i will be bringing home some cast iron kohlors ill be listing for sale for my boss. the cast iron kohlors range from 10 - 16 hp and are low hour engines (well supposed to be) they were industrial paint machines i dont understand that exactly. but was told they got a 1 1/8inch cranks on those engines ill be bringing them home monday and going through them. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

's breed like rabbits. you see my sears in picture lol. well sears do garden work and sometimes mow grass and dirt moving plus snow. also scrap moving at work lol. the wheel horses will do some mowing and moving dirt and what not. you see in my area its hard to find attachments for wheel horses but sears on other hand you find them all over lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #6 Posted September 25, 2016 heres the workhorse 700 the day i brought it home. since i dont like tecs and it wasnt the original tec it was first thing to come off. the tec is on dads sears custom 6 now. i currently have the kohlor magnum on the workhorse but like post said the b80 engine is going on the workhorse along with the lights from the c141 hood. when the workhorse is done it will be a good little machine. then the b80 will go back together when i bring parts machine home. also the parts b80 is missing flywheel. we are scrapping a jd 208 thats far gone at work i am pulling engine off it for parts to provide flywheel and what not that i will need. the parts b80 turns over by hand with compression i am confident i can get it to run. i am even more confident i can get this b80s engine running on the work horse only downside is i hope i get get pulley off or else ill end up taking it to a repair shop to get the heat treatment to pull it off. some may say i am crazy. i know it lol 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ohiofarmer 3,157 #7 Posted September 25, 2016 Best chance of getting that pulley off [without heat] is to use this product http://crcindustries.com/auto/?s=05002 O'Reilles used to stock it, but they will still order it for you. Spray it every day for a week. Two weeks is better and it does not take much. I have used some pretty expensive penetrants, but the Freeze-Off works the best for me.

Elkskin's mower junkyard 1,117 #9 Posted September 25, 2016 (edited) ran into a slight problem. the b80s engine is a geared start engine. well starter is going to be in way of battery on the workhorse. i have 2 options one is relocate battery to under seat which i kind of like this idea since there is plenty of room just have to trim the lip a little on each side of tool box and fix the seat mounting area aka fenders because the bar in front is broke. or i run a motorcycle type battery which i really dont like them. but on bright side i got the headlights in the workhorses hood. someone ran into something with the workhorse at one time. because i compared it to hood on dads 656 which is rounded out the front. well workhorses hood is flat accrosse and tell tale signs of a few dents. but with a hammer i got the grill part worked out enough the lights went in Edited September 25, 2016 by craftsmanmowerfreak 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
