Dont you get to feeling special I got one of them to…..

Someday me and the warden will afford a nice piece of land to enjoy and I’ll be out there with a smile just “sickling” around and pretending not to hear her yelling to me to come inside.

Ive never done it but I'm sure I have seen sleeve adapters for the different cranks, and dont see why you culdnt use sqaure tubing to get motor/crank in the raised position.

If you get to thinking someone that needs should have it I will gladly come and get it if you will split the fuel bill with me

I'm just going by memory here, but big block Kohlers run NGK B4L (Autolite216) and small blocks run the NGK B4S (Autolite255). Your K241 should use the B4L. I put the Autolite numbers in parentheses because sometimes they are easier to find local.

Ever notice two "same size" belts don't ride the pulleys the same?
ri702bill replied to JohnDawson738's topic in Implements and Attachments
The exact issue when replacing the two 3/8" wide captured drive belts on a 1960's gear drive deck. Older Chrysler product cars had a matched set for the AC compressor - not exactly inexpensive... -
I have converted both my C81's with the shaker plate to solid mounts - no more of the engine shifting with the PTO engaged. Funny how forty plus years of use turns the rubber portion of the 3-piece mounts into mush.

One thing I have learned is of all the things you can buy/order online nowadays belts is not one of them. Guaranteed it's going to be like the proverbial box of chocolates. I have a wall of them to prove this. I suspect it's due to what EB said coupled with someone stuffing the wrong size into your box. Some even the belt just labeled wrong. I also generally don't go by part numbers Just the belt length and type. (3L, 4L, 5L) etc. One (ok a couple) of the files I lean on heavily when replacing a belt. Get the WH part number and cross to length. Then go to farm & barn, power center, big box or where ever and shop on length.

1983 Troy Bilt horse transmission question
oldlineman replied to Chris689's topic in non tractor related discussion
I have a Troy Bilt Horse with a 7 hp Kohler. I don"t know but would there may be a detent ball and spring to locate the shift shaft but never had any trouble with my unit. Very well built and heavy unit. I looked up a diagram and yes looks like a simple spring and detent ball, similar idea to our high low shifter system in the C series 8 speeds. -

You're not overthinking it. This has been an industry issue for decades. Standards can vary slightly from company to company but also if they are using outside vendors to produce their products. Even amongst the top-tier manufacturers like Gates, manufacturing methods dictated that if you needed two or more belts for the same system, you had to order a MATCHED SET to guarantee proper fit. - Today

1983 Troy Bilt horse transmission question
Chris689 replied to Chris689's topic in non tractor related discussion
So that’s kind of what I was thinking of doing with a thin steel cable and a carabiner to clip it to the handle bar for free wheel. If it works out the way I want maybe I’ll take the time to tear it down and fix it right. I’m hoping it works out because it’s seems to be a fairly uncommon unit. -

Yes I have seen it and Yes you may be overthinking it. Any new belt has to "break in" to the pulley. I generally buy the blue Husky ones from TSC and I always buy one either side and run the one that fits the best. Being careful not to run them in as the ones that don't fit get taken back. Also any new belt will leave some "belt dust" from run in. Blue dust in the case of Huskies. -

Most people only sized belts based on width, i.e. 1/2, 5/8, etc., and length. There is also another measurement to consider, the groove angle. That angle on the belt will dictate how well it fits into the groove on the pulley and whether or not it will give long life. Another is the belt material, the cheaper belts will wear out faster due to inferior belt material. -
I have a 1979 C-101 that I bought new, and have not had any problems with it, not even the SHAKER PLATE. many many hours mowing and now moving snow each winter. Very good simple tractor.

Someone please buy this and build a sweet dozer blade out of it!

Congrats on their purchase Keith! You have any extra Xi machines laying around? We know those are quite beastly! Maybe overkill for a 1/2 acre plot, it I love the way mine plows a furrow, and it mowed well before too. It also has a more modern mower feel with the step through body design.

I always remove three feeler gauges from the set. If the spec is .020”, i take the 19 20 and 21 out of the set and use them individually to check the gap. I can get a much better “feel”. If i try using them without removing them, i can guaranty it’s not right. You might find that your shaky 18 is actually 21. @Retired Wrencher

@Vinylguy Terry has been known to customize decals in the past. C-181 Automatic sounds pretty beefy

Congrats, I’m sure that’s going to work well for you! The black hoods came with a very brittle plastic fender, and the steel fender from later models became the next best thing for replacement. You could locate one from a later C-series to be closer to the era, but I think yours looks just fine on the machine.

July 8,1969, A battalion of the U.S. 9th Infantry Division leaves Saigon in the initial withdrawal of U.S. troops. The 814 soldiers were the first of 25,000 troops that were withdrawn in the first stage of the U.S. disengagement from the Vietnam War. There would be 14 more increments in the withdrawal, but the last U.S. troops did not leave until after the Paris Peace Accords were signed in January 1973.

Mike: Stick one in the window. Maybe a 8000btu? There cheap Ocean StateJob lot stores. you can also put a divider in there get yourself a cheap tarp and run it along the ceiling so the air-conditioning only goes in that one area and I think you can think the same way if you want for at winter time for heat I pretty much did that when we built the garage and it had no sheet rock and insulation in it. but once we put sheet rock in insulation in it, it’s pretty warm in the winter with the triple burner,propane heater. I also have a two burner once the garage is fairly warm. I switched to that.

I am not an expert on the C`s Eric and Mike. So opps.
-
B & C Series are very similar. Early C series didn't have the shaker plate. That did not start until 1978.

Earlier C's have no shaker plate
