Sounds like a plan, its strange all the aftermarket carbs I looked at list the #30 being for 14 and 16hp. And the #26 being for the smaller engine. I'm not saying they are correct, as half of them have the incorrect choke tab anyways. I'm just saying you have to know what you are looking for, cannot just go by what the sites say; Thus I come here

Guess I'll pick up a gasket for when I'm ready to really get to the bottom of what I have. For now the tractor is doing everything I want it to with the current motor so I'm not extremely worried about what I have, but it certainly would be nice to know for a go forward basis,

They aren't hard to get, and don't cost too much. Cut off the tip on that throttle arm, and get the air filter to fit.

That's what I ended up doing last night. I'll order up a spring with my next order of parts.

It does! You can see it slightly has hit the inside part of the panel as some of the paint has been scuffed but it does fit. It's a very nice be able to check the left and right side of the oil

It could go into the top right corner of the block, or it may go down to the lower right side and be bolted on. Which is it?

It is front right, its hard to tell with that side panel on, side panels are a pain to get off with the loader, I have to disconnect the brace in order to do so. Can you tell from this pic which one it is, if not ill pop the panel off to see if its bolted on.

I think the AQS engines used the thicker one. Parts book shows it does, but it isn't always correct. That may affect air cleaner housing clearance.

Ill look into that, didn't think the gaskets would be that thick.
