Well i finally got the old bird running, thank you to all that helped me figure out the error of my ways on my other threads. In my travels to get a Kohler Carb (which really wasnt the issue, but im glad i got it) i accidentally came home with a truckload instead of just a part....so it goes
parts tractor... came for free with the carb...
half the price of a knock of version from fleabay.
and a 50A deck(needs alot of bending back to shape... next to my already broken down 44A, and a Plow. ... 25 bucks i just couldnt pass up. Which seems to be the problem with these things.
Now im just waiting for the weekend to rebuild the PTO that has a stuck bearing and swap out the relief valves so i can get the ones on there now off to Ohio for rebuilding.
