Great, another project idea I dont need that box up front holds the majority of the electrical system and the battery. It was virtually the only place to fit it all Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Redneckdavis 308 #27 Posted July 23, 2020 Those are some big exhaust stacks man. Nice collection though. So what are the small eyes, hooks, whatever mounted on the front of all your bumpers? My pull horse came with almost identical ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greentored 3,201 #28 Posted December 17, 2020 Kinda forgot I started this thread to document the life of an addict. Geez, have bought, sold, traded and flipped a bunch since last posting here. Today, scored this for less than the local going price folks want just for that big boy 16hp. Ags used for 2 years, then tractor was parked when they bought a new one. Has compression, trans turns, shifters work! 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Nah, 'just' a 12 fin. Probably best that its not 13, or i'd be ripping another perfectly good engine apart and shoving a small block chevy piston in it 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Greentored 3,201 #34 Posted December 17, 2020 @ebinmaine we were just talking on here about not having anything to compare Hoss to. Both are 8 speeds, both have loaded ag's. If it runs good i'm looking forward to some back to back testing! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greentored 3,201 #35 Posted December 19, 2020 Got some shop time today.

Da*n kohlers! 😀 On the snowblower, man ain’t 1.5 feet of snow hard on the motor! I’ve always kept the oil changed on that 12.5 kohler, and that one has an oil filter. I sorta believe that is why she hasn’t blown sky high, because of the oil change. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Greentored 3,201 #49 Posted December 20, 2020 I feel the same way about the Series 1 KT17 in the old mans 317 (cough) deere. Says he’ll upgrade when this one grenades but it won’t! Been fogging skeeters, putting more oil on the outside than inside for almost 3 decades, rering’d once or twice, run dangerously low on oil many times.....just keeps going. Some of the best and strongest engines are the ones you have no mercy on. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
