Today a me and a good friend of mine built a ramp for my 88 year old mother. She still lives on her totally on her own and still drives during the day. In her garage there is concrete steps and I was worried about her falling on the concrete floor. We built it wide enough in case someday it needs to be a wheel chair ramp. She said she is still walking and doesn’t even want to think about a wheelchair!! I certainly hope I can make it to 88 and be as witty and mobile as she is.

Snowthrower compatibility....

@lynnmor I agree but I thought that piece sticking down was part of the rockshaft, but I’m not familiar with the underside of a C-195. -
That looks pretty close but with that block on the shaft being that far from the arm that hooks to the hydraulic cylinder wouldn't that cause the arm to stick way out into the footrest in the picture the block looks alot closerto the arm

I have some photos to share in case someone is trying to do this repower. The first photo shows the adapter plate. It is 1/2" thick and about 10" x 10". The reason I chose 1/2" is that it puts the pto at exactly the same height as a KT-19 mounted on the original frame. You can use a smaller plate that does not stick out as far on the left side (photo right). I did this so that the plastic fan shroud is protected on the bottom. I mounted the plate to the bottom of the engine and slid it around on the frame until the belts aligned and fit properly to avoid using a different belt size. The face of the engine block is just about flush with the right frame rail edge. I am not proud of the exhaust, but it was as good as I was going to achieve in the time I had. I cannibalized the cylinder head flange and reinforcing straps from the exhaust that came with the engine. It turns out that 1" EMT pipe is a perfect fit for the flanges and I was able to weld on a 1" NPT nipple on the outlet to mount a standard muffler. At least the noise is aimed away from the driver (me). Those are off the shelf 45 degree bends. A 90 degree bend would interfere with the hood unless you use some straight pipe first. If I had a 1" bender, I would have probably done it a little differently. It can always be changed. So far, I can say that this is not as easy as I thought it would be. The issues can be grouped into 4 categories. 1. Mounting the engine. You will need a welder and preferably a drill press. Possibly a plasma cutter. 2. Exhaust. This is up to your personal taste, but probably going to need a welder. I used a lathe to bore the pipe nipple to fit the EMT before welding. 3. Drive sheave and clutch. I used these parts: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DPXNFMT5?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YBD2RGK?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1 You will need a CW clutch since it is mounted with the sheave facing the engine. The drive sheave is the correct OD, but I did have to bore the ID and broach a new keyway. 4. Wiring. The biggest issue to overcome is that the Predator uses magneto ignition. That means that instead of providing battery power to the coil like on the Kohler that the key switch needs to ground the magneto and also power the fuel solenoid. I have not gotten very far with the wiring yet as I am waiting on some automotive relays to arrive. You will obviously need to wire the PTO with a switch. Adding some circuit breakers or fuses is highly recommended. Give that the OEM wiring is 44 years old, I decided the rewire the entire tractor to ensure reliability. As mentioned in a previous post, I also replaced the stator coils and regulator. I may have wasted my time and money, but I could not figure out what the original output was without testing it. I thought it might have been 3 or 10 amps when I decided to upgrade it. During disassembly I noticed that the circuit breaker for the regulator is 25 amps. What I did not want to have to do was finish this thing and then find out that the charging system had to be replaced. Now, I know what I have, which is a 20 amp charging system.

That flag pins way up in there, I have no idea what is hanging down there where you pinned.

Thanks for all the comments, I ordered a new shut off valve, tank grommet, fuel lines and filter, will swap out all of these fuel components
-
The mower had similar systems, I thought it might be the coil again, I have a new one on order, just checking to see if someone has this problem with a different solution

Drive belt guard for models like: 1055, 1056, 1075 etc. One that fits a big block engine on a short frame tractor like the guard in the picture below. Thank you guys

@Teddy da Bear62 I grabbed some pictures of the carb linkage on my C-195. The guy I bought it from said that he had replaced the carb, so I can't sayif it came from the factory this way. The throttle and governor work OK. The choke is not connected to the choke laver on the dash at the moment - seems the choke shaft on the carb is 90 degrees different than the original carb. Picture 1. Throttle cable connection to bell crank on left side of tractor. The link on the other end connects to the governor arm. Picture 2. Governor arm. Left-hand side spring goes to bellcrank that the throttle cable connects to. The link on the right hand of the governor arm connects to the throttle shaft. View is from the rear of the carb. Picture 3. The link between the governor arm and throttle shaft. Picture 4. Another view of governor arm to throttle shaft. This view also shows the choke shaft - it is horizontal on this carb, where on the original carb, the shaft ran vertically. Hope these help you.

That looks good! It’s probably more robust than new anyway. - Yesterday

If there’s not already holes in the lift flag drill one where the black arrow is pointing and put a hairpin cotter pin in the hole. It may require adding some washers or drilling another hole for proper adjustment. -
Catching stray kittens in the yard/forest
ebinmaine replied to ebinmaine's topic in non tractor related discussion
Trina took the kittens to be spayed or neutered today. We have one girl, the calico "Soup." The black "Toothless" and orange tiger "Sheamus" are both boy kitties. Surgeries went fine. Cats are all healthy. -
Get this out of my sight. Tried to put on C195 and not happening. Free.

BPEisenhower replied to BPEisenhower's topic in Implements and Attachments
Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to get it to lift. Tired of wasting time. Anyone close to me can have this thrower for free -
If I am able to cut the collar in the closeup pick I provided, I think I can get the shaft out and potentially be successful at getting the pulley on the other end off. But since the collar is almost flush with the sidewall, there isn't any space for the reciprocating saw to reciprocate! I could potentially angle the sawblade so it isn't perpendicular to the collar, but I'm not sure that would give me enough room either.
