dells68 7,498 #1 Posted July 15, 2020 I just bought a Kohler K161 for $30! Found it about 45 min from home. Says it needs a valve job, has be partially disassembled, but the recoil is worth twice that! I’m tickled. I pick it up Sat evening! 7 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tunahead72 2,403 #7 Posted July 15, 2020 @dells68 Any idea what that's from? Looks a lot like the K161T off my old Troy-Bilt tiller. Nice haul! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He says it is off of a Troy-bilt. Given how hard the K161s are to find , especially parts, I think it’s a killer deal. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,127 #15 Posted July 16, 2020 We miss you there bro! C'mon jump in, the water's fine. You've heard the story about how my new to me 854 came to me? A total success story of a FB W-H group tractor purchase that was supposed to be picked up at this years big W-H show that never happened. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dells68 7,498 #17 Posted July 17, 2020 By the way there @AMC RULES, I hear you were trying to get my tractor up at Ed’s! It’s at home in VA. I’ll let you know if I ever decide to sell. I’ve since put a correct deck under it - saving the 701 deck. Runs great too!! 2 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing wrong with Facebook if you don’t let it take over your life. I started a Hesston/GMT page because there was nothing out there for info or parts and now have 29 members on the page. One guy has several of them, tons of knowledge from using them over the yesrs and has met the man who was on the design team. I never would have met him if not for FB. Also may have two machines coming my way after I finally get moved, if everything falls into place. It can be a good thing...... all how you use it. Lot of good deals pop up on market place too. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,265 #21 Posted July 17, 2020 (edited) A buddy told me about Marketplace. You do not need FB to use it, he said. i only qualify for UglyFacebook and did not like the idea of FB anyway. He was correct.......I still can't find much close WH stuff on there, but there are hundred dollar riders on there and two hundred dollar riders all day long in case you need a beater to put in the barn at a rental property. There is a filter site called searchtempest that filters CL and EvilbaT, but too much spam ads from dealers who post 50 ads of the same thing. It sort of filters per brand of mower, but not really. I have bought from a guy on redsquare about half the time, but he quit posting stuff for sale. what makes sense for me is to try a ring job on one tractor and then a re-bore on a second one. After doing my taxes this year, i am beginning to wonder if being in business is worth all the paperwork and grief. After surviving horrible tax rates on farm land that lost money and now not being allowed to evict deadbeat tenants because of the virus, It may be time to sell out and enjoy life working on tractors before i get too old. Forgive me for something my 100 years old mom said back in the day about the way Madge comported herself." Madge looks like she has been around the track a few times" Dad just grinned, and us kids were confused . It was a more innocent time.

Well, THAT's excellent to know. And yet, it's not... In the words of my favorite TV detective, it's a blessing... and a curse. Yet another way for me to spend incredible amounts of time doing things I don't really need to do. But there is a lot of cool stuff there.
