Now I really need a bourbon to celebrate thanks guys Glad to hear! Yes you can get those valves. Do you have a plastic tank with the pop in grommet or a metal tank with the screw in type? Either way they're available. Try to clean your own carburetor instead of replacing it. The modern ones just don't hold a candle to the old stuff. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We don't mow with any of our Horses so I'm not familiar with the setups. I can tell you that the decks and other implements have a wide year range of coverage.
