It always impresses my how these old Kohlers can come back to life after sitting for soo long.

It came with a mule drive (and a really good deck drive belt) attached. I took them off for access underneath before I took the pics.
Yeah, I noticed the front tires looked a little "funny", but I hadn't thought much about it yet. In person it looks more like negative camber instead of toe . There's a little bit of play in the axle bores but nothing unusual.
I was really impressed (and very pleased) when it fired and ran like it does right now. The tank has some rust and varnish in the bottom, and the carb bowl was really nasty and gooey. I'm going to clean the tank, rebuild the carb and replace the points before I actually start working it.
As is, you'd think it was mowing or pulling a plow last week, but it wants to backfire on deceleration. I think it's actually running lean most of the time and the point gap "looks" narrow even after filing the points. I haven't checked it with a feeler gauge yet.
