Its stored in a metal shed behind my shop out of the elements along with a bunch of generators and saws, i dont really go back there much unless im trimming but i needed something this afternoon, its sat since about May, untouched.  Hopped on, key on..meter said 11v, choke...turned over 6-7 times...started up, backed it out...let it run to recharge the battery.  I remembered i had wheel covers to put on it from earlier in the year.  The old Kohlers do run smoothly, this is the K181S that i did a quick refresh on in 2023, popped the piston out, put on new rings, new piston, put it back together in about an hour...didnt touch the bore..it was consuming about an ounch of oil in 10 minutes prior to😆.

 

This is the Horse that started it all for me in 2002, the WH Yahoo Groups, all that.

 

Side note...the ebay seat covers suck, they get sticky after about a year and turn dark..never sits outside, never rained on.

Got any pics of 3 point hitch. Looks like one I had on an old sears mower I had at one time. I wished I had kept that 3 point hitch because it worked surprisingly good for a manual lift.

I built an adapter to mount the sears 3pt. Used a tiller/blade bracket as part of it, and the drop stop/hitch is an old Deere deck lift.  Its all removable in about 10 minutes by removing the seat spring bolts, and the axle bracket bolts.

@RED-Z06 that is a mighty fine looking round Hood. I hope you enjoy it for a long time when you could find more time to use it. Enjoy your day.
