Wanted a snoblower and got another C-160

Engine was in pieces when it arrived and needed a new piston but all that aside After a new rear seal and adding oil test drove it the other day. It was a lot of work but I'm just so glad there wasn't more damage as the fins were packed with mud(could this have caused the piston failure?) I'm thinking this was not a normal buildup. Has anyone seen this? No way it was cooling properly. 

 

And as a side note: I just wanted to send a shout out to Mabsoon for going out of his way and bringing both this and the snoblower down. ! couldn't have done it without you buddy.

There was some of those too, but on the other side of the motor. I'm talking mud like it had been used for off roading caked in behind flywheel and deep in fins under sheet metal side of motor. Let that be a lesson to take of the covers every now and then. If this was some kind of a normal buildup you wouldn't think it was really that bad without doing so. I'm still not sure if that would have caused a piston to fail as there seems to be nothing else noticeably wrong with it now.

      89 400 series 25A fuse blowing
      By WheelPuke
      I have my 25A fuse blowing every time I put a new one in the slot. The old one was burnt up when I got the tractor put this year. It sat for a year with a dead battery. I stopped using it as much because the transmission is clattering pretty bad when taking off on second or higher. I had to replace the clutch belt a few years ago and couldn't get an OEM. Not sure what is the problem there that's another issue though.
       
      I have checked the wiring and patched the worn spots where it could be grounding out. The fuse blows as soon as there is power to the system with the ignition off. I'm at a loss of what to check for at this point. Any input from someone who has had this issue would be appreciated. I'm not sure what these units are in the photos but do not know how to test them for a failure. They are directly in loop with the battery and the ignition loom looks to run into that 25A fuse.

      "Pond" Wheel Horse Walk Behind
      By Aaron Coffman
      Hi Red Square Community,
       
      I am looking into purchasing the below pictured "POND" Walk Away. The unit itself has the cast in “POND” on the chain reduction housing. The two main things I am looking to learn are what value is typical for these to sell for. This one has a Briggs & Stratton model “N” engine. It runs and drives, but the throttle linkage needs some adjusting. It comes with a cultivator and plow implement. 
       
      Secondly, I was wondering if there is any way to determine what year specifically this Pond is from. The seller believes late 1940s and not 1950s. I am new to these machines, so I am looking for some guidance. Thank you in advance!
