Heart transplant in the 1330
 

It ran ok but sure liked to smoke, and a little down on power. About two, three years ago it swallowed up a carburetor screw. Made it out the muffler but not without a little damage.
Well this NOS 14hp Command came up on CL for a very good price. It was a pull start engine so I needed to change everything over from the 12.5 electric.
First hiccup was that the stator mounting holes were not tapped, and two were missing so I needed to drill two holes and tap four, pretty easy fix.
Needed to take the fuel pump off the 14 because it would interfere with the muffler, that I needed to use from the 12.5 to clear the hood, then make a plate cover for the fuel pump hole. Mount the ring gear flywheel and starter, I also reused the flywheel cover from the 12.5. (sleeper)
It fired right up:beerchug: haven't had a chance to try it out yet, but soon. I suppose the next thing is the hydro will go out on it:bash2: don't say that!

Sounds like a nice little project Todd. :beerchug:

Looks good Todd and nice pickup on the engine!:beer2:

Good score, Todd!

Good goin Todd!

Man you take good care of your tractors! No dirt, oil or mess on that one anywhere!!

You need to sweep the floor though. :biggrin2::biggrin2: :beer2:

Looking good Todd.

"No dirt, oil"?
Pressure washed it after the engine was out.
Yeah, I know the floor was dirty, windy day and all the crap from the trees blew in.

Thanks guys. Had it out mowing the lawn today. A lot more power than the old worn out 12.5, but still took 4 hrs.

You need a bigger mower buddy. Something with a BIG DECK, besides women love a big deck LOL :beerchug:

Very cool, I have a 12.5 command and a newly aquired 14 command with fuel pump labeled as a craftsman but came on a murry frame (both mowers free). And the 14 probably needs carb cleant but it runs on spray
