149 motor swap
 

Well I finally decided to swap engines in my 149, the twin cylinder Briggs wasn't reliable so out it came. The p/o did a decent job on the install of the Briggs, they had fabricated a plate for the motor mount, and swaped the original drive line out. I cut the mount out and made a new plate for the motor I'm installing. All I have left to do is shave down the adapter I made for the drive shaft and install the new motor. I also steam cleaned the gas tank it wasn't a pretty sight, lots of gunk. The new engine is a Kohler 12hp magnum, a good friend gave it to me, he had never used it.:IH Logo:

Here's a video of the progress http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=LbN8rASLd0A

Your vid isn't working.

I'm not sure why it wasn't working but I think it's up now

If y'all watch the video I'm needing some wireing help I showed I can't figure out

Got the throttle linkage done and finished up my dual adapters

Nice project.
But still no vid. on my end.

I'm not sure why the video isn't working, the main question I had was on the wireing. The motor was a stand alone engine, I pulled the throttle and choke off and modified the linkage to work with the tractor. I found and hooked up the charging wire but that's it there are three wires that come out by the carb and I don't know what or where they go.

I by the way here is the drive shaft it's a p/o mod but I'm keeping it, it was originally a drive shaft off of an international 21 cotton stripper. A u joint on bolth ends and a hex shaft.

Your tractor looks tough! :beerchug:
