Columbia motor swap
I got this out for a test drive yesterday after doing an engine swap, 1974 Columbia(MTD960), its been sitting dead for a couple years while I was looking for an engine... a 16hp B+S is alot less common around here than a K341. Last spring I went 7 hours one way to bring home two parts tractors
Ive always been impressed with this tractor, 16hp B+S single, Peerless 2315 transaxle, a real clutch, and almost 1000 lbs, its quite a capable machine and I have a nice collection of attachments for it... front blade, snowblower, deck, 3pt hitch, tiller, plough, cultivator.
Ive had it lift the front end off the ground when the cultivator hooked a tree root, bulldozed a small building with it once, pulled a pickup out of a ditch with a foot of snow... its not a very nice lawnmower but it will move just about anything.
