    Sort of, but not really...the pin hole gets worn egg shaped in both parts, and yes, if that is left that way too long, the spindle and...

    Engine oil capacity is 1.5 quarts, and gear drive trans oil capacity is 7 pints. That is a pretty nice original tractor!

    "12HP Kohler" = K301? Tractor model would still help. What Gary is saying would only be a possibility if it is a 1250 ,1282, 1210, or...

    mgonitzke replied to the thread Best model opinion?.
    782, 1711, 1811. All are essentially the same machine. The 782 was the most refined IH machine, and 1711 and 1811 produced by MTD are...
