Docwheelhorse 2,668 #1 Posted November 3, 2021 Good Evening All, Met Randy Lindblad out of N. Grafton Mass tonight--he has been showing off his 516 H loader / cab project here and on FB. His work is amazing in person... Id tag him but haven't been able to figure out his screen name--- @Sparky can add it (please) he figured it out. Randy is a super nice guy... he wanted a set of ags on 10" rims I had and a tall chute snow blower. I wanted a C111 he recently acquired---I can't resist Briggs power!! Looks like this got a shortblock somewhere in the past. Ill try and get it fired up tomorrow. Tony 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,132 #6 Posted November 3, 2021 (edited) Congrats Tony. Since my Panzer, do love the way they sound. I too, recently picked up these twin, early '50's model 6S Briggs engines for another project that's been sitting here.

Docwheelhorse 2,668 #10 Posted November 3, 2021 Update #2.. well I adjusted carb and idle and it's running OK. But... I see a carb clean in its future. It must have some boogers / crud loosening up with the fresh gas. Now it's gagging, hunting,, surging etc... she's a keeper. Just needs some love, best guess it was parked in 2018.

Docwheelhorse 2,668 #14 Posted November 3, 2021 @ebinmaine well my other post fizzled and wasn't nearly as interesting as I thought lol. I changed engine oil---it was a bit low and black and who knows last time it was changed. The transaxle had the most God awful brown sludge gear oil in it so I added a guard of ATF I had and ran it on stands then drained and filled it with fresh 80/90. Tie rods are physically loose--not the ball and socket the physical nuts and stud. The hubs are both loose / pushed in... one hub has a hammered keyway. There's nuts and bokts missing here and there... and I'm adding a flip up seat mount. It's a super solid unit... just needs love like all of them. It MIGHT get a snow plow...

ebinmaine 67,671 #16 Posted November 3, 2021 Sounds like you've got a good machine with good potential and a good plan to get it back up to good running condition. I like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
