I had done some work for Barry on his trailer and he rewarded me with some shopping money on Thursday. I picked up this complete Commando 800 from @12 hp Kohler Robbie for the same amount as Barry gave me, so I've got a few hours of work into it. The tractor would not run when we were jumping it, so I ran to Walmart Thursday night and grabbed a battery and some random chemicals, sealants and supplies to see if I could get it going on Friday. I ended up getting the 656 and playing with that, so I started on the Commando tonight. I've been up 20 hrs, time to come in from the garage for the night. But first, an update. On Friday I did figure out that the intake valve keeper cup had split, and the valve was just bouncing around in the block when it was rolling over, so no compression and firing/backfiring out the carb and exhaust simultaneously. I found a valve set for $5 from one of the vendors and put the spares in the truck. The engine was pulled along with the wheels and tires and it was tossed on the tailgate of the Colorado. Thanks random guys that I stopped and asked for help! I dragged it into the garage tonight in hopes of making it back into a roller, but I got to work on the engine instead. The long block is assembled, I just need to torque the head bolts and put the cooling tin on the top. Then I'll have to get it back in the frame, then try to give it a whirl!
