That would be an air cleaner assembly off of a Tecumseh horizontal engine

To tell the model of this you gotta take look st the engine mounts. The S18 had a 8hp Kohler where the one engine bolt sat over top the frame rail and the S19 had a 8hp Briggs that if your engine bolted directly down then it was original S19.  If you are interested in fenders I have nos S23/S24 fenders that is same as the smaller fenders except just larger and you would have to make center peice bracket.  I also have original engine pulley, hood hinges and maybe a belt guard if want to put it to original.

i would say mine is the S18 model. A far as the parts go, I will be thinking it over for sure. Thanks @tractornut86

Started the tear down yesterday. It's in the minus digits this morning so garage work is low starting today. Hope to have the engine done today.

There is a bump stop under the tie rod in the area of the green circle. There isn't in the red circle. Is there supposed to be? Turn one direction it hits the stop. Turn the other and the steering seems to cam over itself, but not to the point it locks itself in place.

Wouldn't painting the aluminum hold in the heat?

Technically yes. That's true.

 

I've seen discussions that showed it doesn't much matter on an air cooled engine unless maybe it's running an implement or machinery.

 

The Briggs on Trina's 867 is painted. Seems fine. She uses it to pull a wood trailer around but no "working" it.

Now I'm wondering if I should dismantle again and paint the exposed aluminum. If so, black or red? Decisions decisions. Dang it

I like the contrast it has right now.

 

I'd also like the contrast of the black....

 

 

 

What color will the tractor be?

Stock -ish paint scheme. Same red as the engine with yellow wheels and seat.
