Pullstart

Hey everyone, I'm pullstart (Kevin) a couple weeks ago I was just browsing around and found a 502 on CL with a K141 Kohler and a 36" cut deck.  The engine was knocking and I took the drive with my 5 year old daughter to pick it up.  I can't tell who is more excited to have a NEW tractor, but we picked it up last Saturday afternoon and last night the rebuild kit came in the mail.  In a few hours we were tooling around the yard and having a blast.

 

Yeah, I'm looking forward to enjoying my little 6 1/4 horse and love the pull start no battery idea... it's simple, works, what more would anyone want out of their toys?

 

I need to figure out what model the mower deck is, so I can find the PTO/drive belt, we'll use if for a while to clean up the yard, then work on cleaning it up a few pieces at a time.

 

Thanks again to Bob, the guy who sold it to me.  I think he's a member here, an avid WH hobby collector/builder/dealer.

:WRS: Very nice/neat find, the mower can be RM 367 through RM 3662 0r5-2361 if I'm reading the attachment interchange chart correctly (in manuals). If you need the manual it's in manuals section under:       I believe there is a belt chart there also.

Thanks for the help, found the belt specs on here, did a rough check and headed off to the local Tractor Supply.  We mowed 1.5 acres with "put put" yesterday, things ran just great!  I'm looking forward to cleaning this up with my oldest daughter for a first daddy-daughter project soon.

I’m sure I was scruffy then too.... that’s a product of laziness!  As far as likes go, I think we only had a thumbs up, now there’s options!
