This may help if you need parts, Tecumseh as far as I know is out of the engine biz.

Worst case you could probably re-power it.

Thanks Brother Sam. I hope it will just need a little love, and fire back to life. He did say it had compression and he thought it would start. Poor guy has lung cancer and is out of the old mowers for awhile. He has a 1959 Bohlens also but I just thought this one looked cool.:biggrin2: Think I should come up with a new color scheme? Like orange and white or something colorful? Or maybe just leave it red.

I H red it and decal it and it might fit into the fleet as a ultra rare one :biggrin2:... ( the JD guys make there stuff better by painting Cubs green ) . :bigthink:

My comment about the hydro version was in jest,,,
this is a pic of the smallest mower I own,,, it is only 8 horsepower,,
but,, seems to do a LOT with the 8HP!! :bigthink:

Strictly my opinion, but that machine is more rare than your average Cadet so I would put it back as close to possible to original, right down to the pin stripe. If you didn't want to paint it, just get it running, I doubt you'll have any trouble finding parts, plenty of guys collect old air cooled engines. I think we have one, maybe 2 Lauson's, but they are horizontal shaft engines.

That's cool Ronnie. Is the guys Bolens a ride-o-matic? Those are neat little things too. I had a guy wanna trade an almost NOS Swisher original zero turn the other day for my 128 but I turned him down. It sat on a show room floor it's whole life u til the place closed down. You tube both if you haven't seen them, both are very small and unique. You got the bug bad these days Ronnie, good for you!

That's what I'm going to do John. Keep it original. :biggrin2:

Hi Alvy, I don't know the model of the Bolens, but it's one of those tractors that looks like the engingine is missing. :biggrin2:
