oliver2-44 9,732 #2 Posted November 29, 2022 I’m guessing that’s a rare brand. What engine does it have? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 27,565 #3 Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) Almost added one of those to my heard. They are an interesting tractor, most of the engineering looks like "OK, how we gonna make this work " Still a cool tractor though. Not a lot of info out there on them from the research that I did a few years ago. I believe that it should have a Kohler K241 under the hood. If I remember correctly, the PTO end of the crank is kind of different which makes an engine swap a bit difficult. Try to save the engine if you can. Congrat's on your new tractor, keep us up to date on your progress please. Edited November 29, 2022 by Achto 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it is a K 241 , the tractor seems to operate but it might need belts as it seems slow . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,814 #8 Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) Nice ... muffler is a Cub. Thought the exhaust piping might be odd until i noticed the motor is 180 out from a horse. Edited November 30, 2022 by WHX?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
