I started the restoration on my 800 Saturday. This is what it used to look like:

Merk,
I started on Dustin's 800 and am in need of the gasket that goes between the carb and air filter housing. Do you know a source for them? Was told a Kohler from a Deere had the same one...

I don't see why you can't get it anywhere that carries Kohler parts. The number is KH-41-041-11. Tulsa Engine Warehouse and Cub Cadet both have it...not sure why you need to go to a JD dealer.:confused:

Same gasket.
Any small motor shop that works on Kohlers can get you the gasket. My local NAPA store is a good source for Kohler parts. Most NAPA stores have or can get you small motor parts. My Son used to work in a small motor shop. I still get Kohler parts from them.

I like to buy parts for my Cubs locally. I will get parts from the sponsors on the top of the page if they are not available locally.

Great pic, medic75! :beerchug:

Good luck, on your 800, Dale. I know it will be sharp, after you are done with it! :ThumbsUp:

I actually CLEANED MY GARAGE today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOOHOO!!!!!!!!

The 124, is now backed in, at my work area.
The 64' Broadmoor, is neatly parked in the corner with the front axle on a moving dolly (wheels went on the 124)
And the push mower is about to have it's carb cleaned, and a tune up...ready for spring.

And the wife is happy. I can now leave the garage door open, and she's not embarassed. :biggrin2.gif:

Well today I thought about moving the 782 out of the yard and down to the basement so I can begin to tear it down, but realized it was just too cold.

So I finally got some decent seat time. I got some last week but I was sick as all get out with the flue. Just important as good seat time, I got to play with my new camera this time.

My blade has snow stick to it too, I just drop in on the ground hard a couple of times next to the snow pile and typically comes right off.

Cant really do that with the hydraulic lifted blade. I just hit it with a broom and it comes off.
