Planning to build a C-200!!

[Steve B. 30]

So I finally got my M20 from my father. It's sitting on my bench haunting me right now. Here's a couple pics of my latest paperweight:

1) 2)

3) 4)

Those familiar will note the lack of fan shroud with ID tag. Is there any good means to positively identify which series this is? Also, the 4th pic is a close-up of the starter, note the broken mount point. Looks like the broken off boss is part of the engine crankcase. Anyone have any good ideas for a fix? Apparently someone had tried to jury-rig it with a wooden wedge. I know it does run, dad was sawing lumber with it last fall.

I'd like to rebuild it before I put it in my tractor. Likely splash some paint on the tractor at the same time. My initial measurements seem to indicate no hood mods, could be tight though. Has anyone tried to set one of these up with two carburators before? That might be cool.

Anyway, for now I will give it a scrub and put it on the shelf. There are a few projects ahead of this one this summer. Most notably my wifes scooter rebuild (very high priority!!)

A scooter?

Not 100% sure here, but I think the "Series II" KT engines had full-pressure lube with a filter. Wheel Horses that came with those engines sometimes did NOT have the filter, for some crazy reason- so the lack of a filter means nothing. I guess it was assumed to be in a "inconvenient location", so it was omitted. Of course, your engine didn't come from a WH.

Just gotta love the sound of a twin!

Steve,

I have already done the C-200 thing. See the thread here:

I had a great time making it. It is now owned my another RedSquare member.

Steve, that sounds like an awesome project! Take lots of pics, and keep us posted!

Fireman I,m new around here, and had never seen that project before. That was some fine work you did.

I did see your build Fireman, on the one hand I was bummed my idea wasn't as original as I thought... but then after reading, I realized you had adressed some questions I was having. Thanks for breaking ground for me. I also noticed you had asked Vinylguy to make some C-200 decals. Hopefully he will be willing to do a set for me as well.

Are you kidding me Matt? If I don't take bunches of pics, the tractor porn lovers might ex-commmunicate me.

I know I can't wait for the next peep show from you.
