Still waiting on word back on the charger 12.......

Then this popped up. Just couldn't pass it by sooooooo. I pick it up tonite. Comes with a snow blower. Tranny pops out of gear. That's fine with me. I've rebuilt two 8 speeds an a 3 speed. Think I'm getting the hang of them.

 

And yes my wife still loves me. She's even coming for the ride

 

:woohoo:

I've always thought that would be the best rototilling tractor, with an 8-speed and electric lift seems like it would be a great combination!

Nice find @The Gman!

I've only rebuilt 1 by myself and helped with a couple others after mine. I think overall it isn't TOO complicated for most wrenchers.  

The ones I worked on were the Unidrive 8 speeds.

Rain rain go away........ want to unload the 18 today.

 

From a quick look and see. The drive belt may be too short. That shouldn't make it POP out of gear as the PO said. Didn't happen when I picked it up.... but for sure the idler pully kept a fair bit of tension when clutched. Find em don't grind em is an understatement.

The blower is a Newholland???? Modified to fit right up tight. Has a lift bar and flag Made to order.

Even the hub caps are in fair shape.

This is definitely a sweet deal.

Not too far of a stretch.... the next gen of Toro/Wheel Horse models (260 series and XI series) had a lot of twins painted blue and black and sold as New Holland. It would have gone to one of those originally.

 

Look familiar?

Sure does. The blower is very well built. Feels at least 20 lbs heavier.

Very nice condition.

Might give the 312 a break this winter and run the 18s blower. Lots of time to decide.

Will have to download a read up on the engine. Get familiar with the ingition.

The big downside to the m18 is that they don’t have adjustable valves. The stems need to be ground like the k181.

Get yourself a spare fuel pump or switch to an electric one. Other then that, I’ve seen m18’s with as much as 2800 hours.
