Overall decent shape but the engine was incorrectly rebuilt. Not sure if I will have my favorite local small engine shop fix this one, or just swap another one in. Definitely looking forward to having this machine as a part of my working Herd. Eric I hope some day that it will be a fine worker. Did you ever find out what was wrong with the engine? Other than that it is a good tractor. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than that it is a good tractor. One of the valves is loose in the engine. The keepers were sitting right below it. Also, the cylinder bore looks extremely rough. I have several other options for engines on that tractor. A couple different Kohler 8 HP engines. And yesterday evening I was thinking about the possibilities of installing a Briggs & Stratton 8 HP that was originally on my grandfather's snowblower and now sits on one of Trina's tractors. That will be coming off, because she has the correct engine for that one now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
