So, on a rainy day, i was browsing local craigslist on other ads. I stumbled across a good amount of hit n miss engines for sale. I found a few Maytag 92 motors relatively close for sale. Well, after talking to a member on here, Im hooked. Im in the process of looking for the right one. Im gathering parts to make a wagon mounted ice cream maker.

Hi folks, It was suggested I start a build thread on this little project Im gonna attempt. And I gotta admit, Im a little nervous about it, cause I've never tried it before. My personal ground rules for this are keep it fun and keep it simple. I`ve watched several youtube videos of hit/miss garden tractors and some of them are mechanical works of art. But "dammit Jim!" I`m an electrician, not a mechanical engineer. So here goes!!! I picked up this sears suburban yesturday. Its a hot mess. Got it from a nice old timer about an hour away from me. Kohler engine seems to run very good, and the tractor would drive, But no reverse. My initial thought was thats a deal breaker for me. My assumption was that the tranny was similar to alot of other tractors in that it had multiple gears inside it...1,2,3 and a reverse. I didnt want to tackle trying to fix that sorta thing. Well, i was wrong, and actualy the fella explained to me how the reverse was belt driven and he could never get it to work, and probably just needed adjusting or a proper belt. Hmmmmmm..ok!! So anyway, got the tractor brought it home. If anybody has any insight as to the model and year of this tractor please chime in, i was told it was a 1965 Suburban.? Came with bits and pieces of the original engine also.......
