That's the one. Gentleman who had it was a great guy, but seemed to have his hands full with family and work, and couldn't spend the time needed on it. He was totally up front about everything, and genuinely seemed glad to see it go to someone who would use it.
Just got it home, and gave it a little bit closer look, and while I didn't get burned, there is plenty that will need to be addressed to bring it to it's full glory. On the other hand, a new muffler, spark plug, oil change, carb kit, and maybe file and set the points, and it would probably be good for the full season. Needle valve stuck closed again while I was tooling around the yard to get the oil up to temp for a change, so I'll have to address the carb this week.
Too late for this year, but I will have a hydraulic tiller built for it by the fall, so I can start getting my garden sorted out.
It came with a full set of manuals, including Operators, Service, Parts, and a Kohler engine manual. Some of it's previous history is folded in the pages of the manual, in the form of old service notes, and receipts.
