Retired Wrencher 4,877 #1 Posted October 13, 2016 Well it is starting to take shape carb is being rebuilt have a nelson bid on e-bay. This will be a plow tractor only. The engine looks good inside no score marks. But there was a bunch crap built up around the carb block in side as usual. All cleaned up now should be a good runner. Looking at getting a seat for it. The original was trash. I am going to change out the front tires Enjoy the picks. 14 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,549 #3 Posted October 13, 2016 Since you put on taller rear tires are you also going with a taller front tire (I would). Lookin good of course! Mike..... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As you know it is a crap shoot when you buy these. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Van.I had my dealer do the carb it purrrrss like a kitten now. I do not do small parts I have dropitis . They have a tank to let them sit in for a few days to clear all gum build up over the years. Good runner now. Caught it at the right time. Thanks for all the likes. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,967 #10 Posted October 14, 2016 That's great! I love it when a carb refresh comes together. Kohler engines purring like a kitten always put a smile on my face. Be sure to use non-ethenol only fuel in it. Happy for you friend 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
