leabassett@sbcglobal.net 182 #1 Posted Sunday at 05:43 PM Like the title says what is it? It is marked Charger 10 on the side. But the motor looks original and is a 1976? Hydro drive manual lift. Starts right up too. Thanks 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 17,572 #9 Posted Sunday at 10:13 PM (edited) The Kohler is a probably a transplant. The HH100 was not a good engine (in my opinion), especially since the electronic ignition module is no longer available. The 312-8 plow should be able to be fitted to that tractor as long as you have rear axle mounts and a lift handle. If I am wrong, someone will be sure to correct me.

If I am wrong, someone will be sure to correct me. It should work. A lot of the tractors from that body style fell into the "short frame" category, while a 312 is longer. The biggest issue there would be alignment of the lift point on the plow to the attachment point on the rocker shaft. But given the gear-drive starter and the battery in the original location this unit likely has the longer wheel base.

leabassett@sbcglobal.net 182 #14 Posted 5 hours ago I may put it up here for sale. Not sure I want to keep her outside all winter. But would make a good trailer puller. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
