AHS 1,440 #1 Posted November 24, 2019 I got the power king for free!👍😄 the power king had sat outside for 5+ years outside in Maine; through the snow and rain! The motor was wrapped up in a tarp. I dragged it home with the two rear wheels locked. Found out that the brakes were locked up on it, the finals drives on each side were filled with water, the clutch was locked, the coil was gone and the points were stuck! The kohler k series 10hp purrs like a kitten! The tractor is as simple as it gets!! Lots of never seize! 1965...lots of steel💪💪it plows decent without chains, no frills or anything, no hydraulics, and just a 3 speed transmission! 3 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

(That’s when they new how to build a tractor!) And it starts quick!! It has the starter/generator so it belt drive to start it! (It only has to turn about 1 crank before it going!)👍 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #14 Posted November 27, 2019 Are you sure that it is a 10 hp? Pretty sure they started at 12hp. Might be a replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, it has a sticker that says “10” and I checked the numbers. It is a replacement engine, he bought it as a short block, put the head on it and all the tin. It really feel like it’s got a lot more to it, because of the final drives... I can plow snow at a snails pace. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
