My sear st16 has a blown engine.its right at the bottom of the cooling fins, I believe the cylinder comes off seperate from the case. Not sure what in side looks lilke. all know is the its probaly filled with piston or con rod or something. the engine turns over half way and stops dead. the tractor is in pieces but i have all the peices i believe included the original owners manual. in great condition. Anywhere I can get that part? Or should I put different motor on it? backround info on the tractor. This sears is one of many lawn tractors on my grandfathers. He took great care of like everthing else he owned. sometime ago, it blew up and started taking it apart. the hood is off and put on a snapper outside to protect the engine. i have a box of parts sitting on the seat. its missing a rear wheel because i took it off for my grandpa because it fits his snowblower with a shattered rim. The Sears is sitting in the back of a shed so its not gonna get any worse. the mower deck is the only attachment i know of and its sitting outside somewhere. My plan is to restore the tractor and use it for its intended purpose. Any thoughts or suggestions? I will put some pictures up soon.

So, on a rainy day, i was browsing local craigslist on other ads. I stumbled across a good amount of hit n miss engines for sale. I found a few Maytag 92 motors relatively close for sale. Well, after talking to a member on here, Im hooked. Im in the process of looking for the right one. Im gathering parts to make a wagon mounted ice cream maker.

Hi folks, picked this up this evening. Not much there to look at, but most of my motivation was looking for a decent prospect to put a hit and miss engine on. The kohler actually runs pretty well though. And the original motor came with it, although pretty much only in bits a pieces. Only real concern right now is i cant get reverse to work, hopefully some searchin will instill some answers.
Probably gonna just try to get revervse fuctional first. Then try to fit a hit/miss to it and see how it goes, if it turns out decent, ill think about tearing it down and doing some cleaning and painting. Im thinkink of using a Stover model k 1 1/2 hp hit and miss. Anywho just sharing, mike

Don't want to be "stoned" off this site but wanted to show you the last restoration (working tractor)
I finished with a Sears Suburban SS15 which was covered but in the "woods" for 20+ years. Was
totally worth the effort and the thump of the OLD B&S 15 is a Joy...... Here's some Before and Afters
Everything from the carb to the transmission need work but it was and is a solid as a rock......!
