New to me C101, woot!!!

[mhlmeader 689]

Hi folks, picked this up not to far from home this morning.  Seller had mentioned it needed some carb tweaking, it would idle up, but then not idle down when ya moved the lever back, kinda raced......I thought maybe it just needed a govenor adjustment, but feared it might be an internal govenor problem.  Lucky me, as it turned out, the linkage was just kinda wonky, and needed the be persuaded with a pair pliers to allow free movement without getting hung up on itself!! Idles up and down great now, runs like a kitten too!!!  Came with the 42 inch deck, plow, some extra blades and pieces parts, and manuals.  Fella was asking 400$ for all of it, I end up getting it for 300$.  He was very nice and seemed glad it was going to someone that would appreciate it.  Anywho,  just Sharing.

Thankyou, I was wanting something to support a 42 inch deck I bought, and this just kinda happened:)

I agree with Eric what you have is a great worker.Change the engine oil every 20 hours and it will last many years.You did well.

I forgot to mention that if your machine does not have an hour meter consider adding one.These Kohler engines have no oil filter and regular oil changes are key to long life.

NICE!!!! And close to home!!!

You got a heck of a deal. Nice machine.

I use one of those for mowing the ditch by our place as it is much more stable than the other mower. 10hp is plenty for that deck.

If it's worth doing, it's worth OVERDOING ....actually I'm trying to sell a couple too, but it has been the summer of tractors for sure

What is this selling action you speak of?  

[peter lena 8,610]

very good pick up on that, your local hardware store ,probably has a pull out drawer section for small parts. find the matching small flat washers there to tighten up that carb linkage. found that and lubrication on related areas makes it work without effort , pete
