stvski80085 126 #1 Posted March 9 (edited) So this I got in a two tractor deal. Haven’t even started looking at it yet to see if it will run. I know it’s a HH100. Not sure what year it is but I think it’s an 8 speed. As you can see he painted everything and no sign of any info except the motor.

sscotsman 186 #6 Posted March 9 The Tecumseh serial number, 7299, says the engine was assembled at Tecumseh "on the 299th day of a year ending in 7". Because of the model of the tractor, we can be sure that means 1967. The 299th day of 1967 was October 26. That's too late in the year to have gone on a 1967 model year tractor. The engine was shipped to Wheel Horse in late 1967, added to the tractor in late '67 or early '68, and the tractor was sold in the Spring of 1968 as a 1968 model year tractor.

stvski80085 126 #9 Posted March 9 (edited) no I will see what I can do to bring them out a little more this week. That's about as good as I could get without some other help. I will try though for sure. At least with SSCOTSMAN comment it should be close. I'm just glad after looking at it the bones are solid on it for sure.

kpinnc 13,489 #12 Posted March 10 Interesting choice on the color someone gave it. Looks like they did a decent paint job! Looks like a solid machine. Well done! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvski80085 126 #13 Posted March 10 The paint job isn't bad but I'm not a fan of the color. Haven't decided what I'm going to do with that one yet. First step is get the motor running and see what kind of shape it's in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stvski80085 126 #15 Posted March 11 (edited) Pulled the carb off last night. Cleaning it and will try to fire it up this weekend. I need to look up the manual on this model. It appears it has a manual choke on the carb itself. It looks like what would be a choke cable is running to gov arm. I have a spare carb for a k181 I can bolt up to test if the original doesn't work. Just need to do some reading up on this engine.

It is not unusual for the THROTTLE cable to link via a spring to the governor linkage. Possible a PO got confused? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peter lena 9,061 #18 Posted March 11 @stvski80085 like super lube oil in those cables , incredible temp / operational range , also look for a , linkage point to add a light coil extension spring ? that way the spring will always assist closure ? giving you pull assist on every move , have that set up on all my stuff , cables move with easy sliding , easy to set up , verify how it assists , cable slide . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stvski80085 126 #19 Posted March 11 (edited) Ya, I am not used to seeing it setup like this. You could be right that the throttle is hooked to the Gov arm. I didn't look at the dash just thought it was weird to have it hooked to Gov arm either way. I will dig into it more over the next night or two. Carb is soaking in cleaner now. I can snap a picture of the carb tonight and maybe how it was setup. I am also soaking the gas tank with vinegar because it had a little rust in it. Not real bad though.

After the vinegar, the innards are prone to flash rust. Be sure to fill it with fuel or coat the inside with some lightweight oil after you empty it and rinse it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
