pacer 3,159 #4 Posted November 16, 2018 I have just finished what I believe is my 7th (maybe 8th?) rebuild using the Chinese rebuild kits off the bay. I sorta cringed on the first 2-3 times trying them, but now I just get on the bay and find an inexpensive and free ship and go. I have not done a rebuild with a rebore. I buy one of these horses that has been sitting many years and just to satisfy my curiosity on the condition of the engine, I'll tear it down and inspect everything and go back up with - usually - a new piston/rings and rod. So far .... I havent run upon one that needed boring. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Tuul Crib 7,331 #6 Posted November 16, 2018 (edited) You might try lsavetractors.com. He has a lot parts available. Still compare some prices tho Edited November 16, 2018 by The Tool Crib 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mike'sHorseBarn 2,477 #7 Posted November 16, 2018 I personally use the isavetractors.com parts when i can. Norman is a good guy and very knowledgeable if you need help. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herder 2,354 #8 Posted November 16, 2018 I also have been using isavetractors for some time now. He offers a master rebuild kit that includes all the necessary components for a complete rebuild. Just as a word to wise be careful with any aftermarket carburetors. Yes they are a nice easy fix and I have had good success with most of them. Now that being said, the tiny screws that hold the butterflies in place need to be remove and treated with lock tight before you install the carburetor. I had one on the throttle side come out. And you can imagine that did. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
