WOW! Do you plan to use them on a tractor or just keep them the way they are and put them in the living room for decoration? :ychain:

No Terry didn't get that one. Still kicking myself over that one.I forgot about it for a day and missed the auction deadline. That one was probably a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. I have not even heard about another one before or since. Had I not forgotten about it for sure it would have been here. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

About four years ago I was admiring the photos Fireman was posting about his RJ restoration and saw one of these engines still on his bench. it is an impressive set up which i did not even know it existed. So there I am wishing I had one since I was also restoring an RJ. Sure enough one shows up on ebay just like his never started NOS. Either because how it was listed or the odd time the auction ended I basically stole it. Upon conversations with seller I came to findout that Fireman's engine came from the same place as the one I got and that he had two more. They came from a long out of business RV manafacturer in Southern California and were bought by two different people one being the seller for the one I got.

Moving foward 4 years I see another one on eBay and of course I got to have it. I win the auction ,not nearly as cheap as first one but not too bad, and I get an email from the seller congratulating be for winning the second one four years later. I had no idea it was the same seller. Then after i asked him if it was going to take another four years for the third one to fall off the shelf and before I could come to my senses there were two of them on the way..

 

As for my collection if you can call it that, ever since I had the first K91 I just became addicted to these little engines. so I have acumulated "a few". The K91S is however a great set up. Coupled with an electric fuel pump,  runs incredibly and starting it is just instantaneous. I don't even think it turns one full revolution before it starts, cold or hot. On top of all that  I just love having these "time capsules". Always looking to find things like that just forgotten by time.
