Refurbished K301

[Wheelhorse#1 1,738]

First try at a rebuild.Decided to restore a k301 off  a WH 12 auto.

Motor was in ok shape not to many hrs but looked like it ran hot for a wile.Found mouse nest under the blower housing too.

Nothing major.Piston,rod,rings and valves.removed the balance gears that were about ready to grenade .Runs decent but need to go back through the carb.

Getting ready for paint is a chore.I prefer the old antique,rust,dirt and faded paint or as they say “patina” or what ever lol

Definitely not your standard WH paint scheme .The WH purest would probably cringe 😬

I had a red/black scheme on a C-145. no biggie. Careful you don't snap off that oil drain pipe!

Yes it’s a long one.I think the previous owner was a plumber.On the end there’s a elbow and three more inches of pipe ,looks like a mini pipe line.
