gwest_ca-(File Mod) 11,276 #27 Posted June 22, 2017 The original Kohler engine was only used on one model of tractor so if a replacement was needed easy to see why a Tecumseh was selected.

Bttatro 94 #28 Posted June 22, 2017 I need to keep a watch on this thread. I'm picking up a Commando 8 3 speed Sunday for $50.00. I also have a 606 I'm fixing up, but which do you think has more value? I think the 606 for the horizontal shaft, but I'm not certain. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,771 #29 Posted June 22, 2017 Certainly the 606 for me! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popasmurf 17 #30 Posted June 22, 2017 I would rather have the Kohler set up but this was all free so you can't beat the price! Thank you very much to all that have given input on this thread. The new carb and pullys are on the way! 😃 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bttatro 94 #31 Posted June 22, 2017 Let me know if you need any other parts. This is what I'm picking up so I'm sure we could work something out. https://greenbay.craigslist.org/grd/6151652829.html 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm not sure what else I might need at this point, an owners Manuel would be really nice to have if anyone knows where to get or download one . I will be looking for a dozer blade, tiller and grader blade in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Popasmurf 17 #37 Posted June 26, 2017 The new carb for my tractor showed up it was a very close fit. Unfortunately not close enough! There wasn't enough clearance to get the nut on the left side. Soooo I'm trying to clean up the old one the best I can. Does anyone know if anything that will help break down or desilve the oxidation deposit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popasmurf 17 #38 Posted June 29, 2017 For anyone interested, white vinegar worked well softening the white oxidation on my old carb. It won't dissolve completely but it will soften it so it can be removed. Don't soak your pats for long periods of time. Several short soaks with removing the lose oxidation in between.

Bttatro 94 #39 Posted June 30, 2017 If you want the carb off of this one I would just ask you to pay shipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popasmurf 17 #40 Posted July 1, 2017 Is that Tecumseh? I can't tell from the picture. If so I would be thrilled to pay shipping and a little oil money!! This is my carb . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bttatro 94 #41 Posted July 1, 2017 (edited) From my research it is a craftsman engine made by tecumseh. I can pull it off this week as I plan to scrap the rest of it. Edited July 1, 2017 by Bttatro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
