bc.gold 3,403 #1 Posted February 11, 2019 (edited) Mike the fellow from Alberta from whom I had purchased my Allis 720 from was given a Sears SS16 tractor with a snow blower, belly mower, wheel weights and chains just for hauling it away from a small acreage the previous owner had recently sold. The 16 horse power Onan was missing a carburetor, Mike phoned me asking if I had a carb, which I did not have for that particular engine but had mailed him a similar side draft that I had salvaged from some unknown twin someone had discarded at the landfill. Mike is not Internet savvy but after telling him each time he called that this carburetor he was seeking told him that it would not be all that uncommon and readily found on eBay, if he were a neighbor would have gladly purchased one from my account, anyhow a year or so later Mike has his nephew do the deed. He now has the proper carburetor that also came attached to the intake manifold. Another vintage tractor saved from the scrap heap.

Stormin 9,981 #2 Posted February 11, 2019 I've a '78 GT16 with B&S twin. I'd like some implements for mine, but few to be found over here. Originally it had the electric 3 point on the rear. That has been long gone somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
