well i knew one of the b80s engines was done for because what my boss said. so i was messing with the engine i put on the workhorse and it did seem low on compression. well got it to pop that was it so pulled head found part of piston gone looks like she broke a ring. so heres what i am going to try i am going to put the jd 208 engine on the workhorse changing pan now.

Glad to hear you didn't give up!

i put the b80 pan on the jd 208 engine due to oil drain being in way. i bolted it on and due to fact i dont have wiring done i hooked it up to battery out of my old truck she spun over a bit and fired up. runs sweet needs minor adjusting. didnt see any smoke but its dark lol. i like the jd shroud because regulator or rectifier what ever you want to call it is right on the shroud

even if it didnt pan out like that i got 2 k181 pull start engines. but plan is put the newer look k181 on the commando 800 and the older k181 on dads 753

already making attack plans for the commando 800 too. needless to say it will be a good horse when done too. it may get a plow also.
