No room for anything else I have a spare, apparently good, motorcycle battery lying around - I think it had a broken terminal that I repaired but had already bought a new one for the bike. It cranked a 4 cylinder bike engine so it should be good for a Kohler twin, so I may use it on my 517-H project to keep things less crowded in the tower. That said, I'm a little disturbed at this image from your engine. It appears to be encouraging violence toward rabbits in step 3: 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No room for anything else. @Monstrosity Second vote for the motorcycle battery. Trina used one in Millie when it had the later model Tecumseh 10 HP in it. Not enough room for the stock Wheelhorse one. We were able to use a hold down bracket and fasten it right to the frame. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At least that's what happens every time I try to follow the illustration. Good thing it has electric start. Edited November 28, 2023 by Achto 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,296 #20341 Posted November 30, 2023 (edited) Pulled half of my stable out of the garage for a joy ride today. The 875 was giving me troubles. I cleaned the fuel pump and it's been running good. The 310-8 runs and drives like a new machine. Wish I had a plow set up for it. Felt good to cruise around as it's been awhile since I driven them. I'll get the other 2 out next. Edited November 30, 2023 by D_Mac 2 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
8ntruck 6,442 #20342 Posted December 1, 2023 Morgan, the 14-8 got tapped today for more leaf duty with the plow and lawn sweep. Today's session wraps up the leaf cleanup for this year. Had to get done today, as the weather forecast calls for rain, snow, and ice for the next several days. I pulled the RD and SD decks into the tractor shed for the winter. Ran the fuel out of the chain saws, leaf blower, and string trimmer, too. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
