Elliot Garfinkel 166 #1 Posted September 25, 2020 Hi all will be looking at one of these machines it's running and has a kohler 12 hp it seems that availability of parts maybe an issue, any input would be appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stepney 2,325 #2 Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) Hydro or standard? The reversing gear box on the standard models can be troublesome, the hydros were alright mostly.. long as they were maintained. PTO parts electric or manual are both scarce. Pretty much no aftermarket support for these rigs, which is a shame.. Not much to know otherwise, the K is a great engine and they really had no other faults as a tractor.. The implements however leave a lot to be desired..

Elliot Garfinkel 166 #3 Posted September 26, 2020 Thanks for the response I'm going tomorrow to look owner just said it runs and needs clutch adjustment,I am just guessing that the chief was manual and the super chief was hydro,comes with plow he's asking 275 dont know anything more,really not looking for something I cant get parts for but the motor is worth something.

Elliot Garfinkel 166 #5 Posted September 26, 2020 I think some might be but just as scarce I think model 120 might be compatible is any of the wheelhorse stuff compatible Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake built the Fords, Olivers, .. some name that was orange which I forget, and MinniMo's so yes, basically everything except the paint and a few trim pieces were interchangeable .. long as they were the same year/style. The engine is a narrow pan usually so even the block is not the same as a WH, its like the style used in an IH Cub Cadet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
