Narrow down now to 31-16K803, or 31-16K804, 1987 or 1988 because it is the Kohler Magnum.

Got this 416-8 with a Kohler I am working to make a reliable tractor again. I'd like to identify the exact model, and it does not have a label on the fender anymore. Are there any specific details I can look for that are unique enough to tell me the year and model of this 416-8?. The engine label is there, but faded badly enough to no longer be legible.

12.5 HP Kawasaki engine Hydrostatic transmission Electric PTO clutch 37-inch mower deck I got this in a bulk purchase. I haven't messed with it yet and with winter coming, I would like to reduce my inventory. I was told it ran but didn't move. They also claimed they had mowed with it at some point this year. The deck needs some metal repair. Everything is there, if you are familiar with these, coud be an easy fix.

I see the file! It uses the pictures of my mower above. My buddy had posted it here about two years ago and there it is again!

Can you straighten a mower blade?
Ed Kennell replied to pfrederi's topic in Implements and Attachments
Probably have to heat it to remove the temper. Bend it and then retemper. Being bowed may not matter if you can get the blade tips at the same elevation. -
Got deck #6 ready for winter stoeage. This one was really clogged up. And it needed an adjustment to get the blade tips at the same elevation.

Well that says it all. I'm a nice guy, but not THAT nice (ask my kids). Your nephew needs to procure a new set of blades for you. Even if they are NLA. A little "Visual Reinforcement" of the money leaving his wallet does wonders. Seriously, blades are tempered - they bend once, then fracture & break if force is applied in the opposite direction. Not worth the damage they can cause. Reminds me of Ralph Nader's book on the Corvair - Unsafe at Any Speed... DO check the accompanying spindle for being bent too.... -

Can you straighten a mower blade?
ebinmaine replied to pfrederi's topic in Implements and Attachments
Flattening that in a press probably won't be able to fix it. If you don't have to go very far I would be tempted to, over straighten, so to speak. Go slightly past the point that you think is straight and let go. Probably have to put one end in a vise and use a large wrench maybe even with a convincing pipe? -
In continuing the saga of a loaner came that came home I was trying to sharpen the blades my nephew damaged. Working with them I realized one blade has developed a bow ...both ends bent up . Sitting on a flat surface it rocks end to end. The other two blades only move slightly. I put it in my 20 ton press and you could see it flatten out but when I released pressure it sprang back. It was the most damaged of the 3. Anything I can do???

A while back I would this guy in the weeds of a retiring small engine mechanic. It was completely seized up when I got it, but a few buddies and I got it freed up. I have never seen a spark plug more corroded than this one! It's a chain-driven Front Wheel Drive, and only one lever controls the cutting height by raising or lowering all four wheels at the same time. Any information on the Wheel Horse push mowers would be greatly appreciated!

A man walks into a pub with a tiny box in one hand, and a weird looking lamp in the other. He takes a seat right at the bar, orders a rum and coke, and opens the little box. He takes out a tiny little man and a very tiny piano. The tiny little man starts playing the piano like no tomorrow. The bartender comes with the man's rum and coke and is intrigued by the little piano man. The bartender also asks what "that pot" is. "A genie's lamp," says the man. So the bartender goes ahead and rubs the lamp. Out comes a genie. "Make a vish" says the genie. "Um okay, let me get a million bucks!" The genie disappears and the bartender waits. A few minutes later, a bunch of ducks start walking into the pub, one by one. "I asked for a million bucks, not a million ducks," the bartender enthusiastically says. The man replies, "you think I wanted a 12-inch pianist?"

1969 Raider vs 1973 8-8 Hoodstand Question
Lee1977 replied to oliver2-44's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Could not find the assemble drawings for the 69 Raider 12 1-6231. I think they are the same. My 1971 had a pipe or bar at the back for the fender hinge. All the others I found as a flat bar bent down on the ends for the hinge, either one will work. The 73 8-8 has the bar if the drawings are right. -
I put a pan under it. Really I put a new gasket in it dry and bolted it together. Seems to be doing OK. One thing I do make sure of with my 2 piece tanks is to never let them sit empty. Just as the cork in a wine bottle needs to stay wet in order to maintain a seal, I believe the cork seal in a gas tank should be treated the same.

In the fall of 1933, just before the 18th Amendment was repealed, Joseph P. Kennedy traveled to London and secured exclusive U.S. distribution rights for major British liquor brands (such as Dewar's, Haig & Haig, and Gordon's Gin) through a company called Somerset Importers. When Prohibition officially ended in December 1933, Kennedy's pre-stocked warehouses and legal permits allowed him to immediately flood the American market. The massive and sudden scale of his legal liquor business led many people to assume he must have been operating illegally during the dry years. Years later, aging mobsters like Frank Costello claimed they had worked with Kennedy, though historians and federal vetting (including opposition research during the 1960 presidential campaign) never uncovered any proof.

Replaced 2 clutch disc. Glued new ones one with JB Weld. The new clutch disc were slightly larger ODD, so I trimmed them with a belt sander. First verified they were non asbestos, but still wore full PPE. -
