SylvanLakeWH 24,137 #1227 Posted September 27, 2021 I wouldn’t worry about a gas tank… by the time this baby gets running we’ll all be using a proton physical particle emulsifying separator for propulsion and the UN will have banned internal combustion engines… 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's big but you're going wide so.... Take a look at the pic and I can get you measurements if you're interested. (And it's red) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's bigger than I'd originally envisioned but now that you mention width, my front axle is about 40, 41 inches across soooo yours might be a good fit.

wallfish 15,920 #1231 Posted September 28, 2021 5 minutes ago, ebinmaine said: How wide is that Roof tank John? 28 X 14 X 6 deep Almost 10 gallons capacity. The angles take away some of the calculated volume with those measurements. Useful amount is probably 8 gallons so that'll keep ya going a little while without running dry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,920 #1233 Posted September 28, 2021 No Problem. Told ya it was big! LoL Cutting the end off and shorting it makes it an adjustable tank. You got a welder now 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oldskool 6,582 #1235 Posted September 28, 2021 If you really want to use your riveted tank this sealer works quite well. It's held up for a year so far without issues. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Several inches larger than a 17 or 18 block in every way. Can't even mount a clutch pedal on the tractor. I'll be using a hand clutch for this one. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

8ntruck 6,376 #1243 Posted October 26, 2021 While reading up on KT's, I stumbled across a stement that the big KT has spray type lube like the series 1 KT's. If true, this might be something to keep in mind while operating on your nice, smooth, level property. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's likely a second generation engine. Date of manufacture is unknown and unable to be found due to decal damage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lee1977 6,217 #1248 Posted November 1, 2021 EB got it made and don't know it. Has Trina to hold those heavy transmissions in place while he puts the bolts in. I'm almost twice as old and had to do it all myself. I saw those pictures of Trina moving the big 16 HP Kohler around. You better get busy and get that thing out of her shop before she pushes it out in the snow to rust. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

She respects equipment way too much to ever think about that. B. As of this past weekend I now have FOUR C160s.
