Mike'sHorseBarn 2,998 #1 Posted November 15, 2023 I know these have next to no value, but I got this when dad brought home his 18 auto because it was going to go to the scrapper otherwise. It sat since the late 90's in a shed and honestly I got it running without a lot of issues. It wasn't charging and had a burned out charge coil, so I put a new alternator under the flywheel, rebuilt the carb, new air filter, fuel lines and fluids. It honestly works pretty good for what its is. I was using it in my small yard in town to chop leaves and it didn't skip a beat! It needs new blades on the deck though. Anyone have a part number for those? It has a 36" deck. Since I have more money into it than it's probably worth, I guess I'll have to keep it 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plucky things, they are, and it’ll serve you for many years with the care you are giving it. 👍 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,459 #8 Posted November 16, 2023 Mike I would say if well maintained it will last. May be in summer take the head off check out the piston bore so you are not wasting your time and money. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It probably at the very least needs decarboned though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
