He got it running but it was making noise. Before he could shut it down it threw the rod. Damage was mineable and he already has the machine shop working on it. The 105 is together and I put in new points, condenser, coil,Plug and wire. I did rebuild the carb with new Kohler parts. It started right up but ran a little rough. A quick search on here and I adjusted the timing and now it purrs like a kitten.

It drives real well and must say I am hooked on these little tractors. I made a list of what I need to finish and have started buying them from the sponsors of this site. I have done tons of reading on this forum and have learned so much. I plan on taking lots of pictures of the rebuild and post them up.

I really haven't even started to work on this one and find myself looking to get an original. I think I might have a problem!

Pictures, we REALLY like pictures.
