    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    Still works fine for me. 782 is lumped in with the 1711 and other mechanically similar tractors. You have to click a model after you search. Pics of the engine in question would really help. I assumed you meant a V-twin, which would make it a Vanguard, but if that is not the case, more info is...

    Mating Driveshaft to none standard engine

    According to the parts lookup, the 1440 and 1641 (which both use a V-twin Vanguard) use the same Kohler part-numbered driveshaft adapter between the flywheel and driveshaft front coupler as all of the Kohler V-twin powered models, oddly enough: KH-24-029-12-S. This part was used in all sorts of...

    Everyone, I need some troubleshooting advise - 1450 starter "died"

    If the solenoid is clicking, it sounds like the wiring to it is fine. 4V at the starter with the solenoid engaged = bad solenoid or cable from starter to solenoid, or bad connections at one of those points. Since it recently worked fine, it is probably the solenoid. If you are able to do so...

    That is quite useful nonetheless. I'll be saving that for future reference. Most of those are Packard 56, several look like Molex, and there are a few I cannot identify.

    Everything but the indicator harness will be Packard 56 and maybe a couple molex. Not sure what the indicator harness ones are. Lewis, can you post the whole 'wire harness service manual?' That would be interesting to see.

    2182 harness is much more complex than the older models. Still possible to make if you have the skills and tools, but will be quite a bit of work.

    MOD. 782

    You aren't going to be 'rebuilding' a Series I KT-17. All of the parts specific to that version have been discontinued for decades. As 1811Cub says, it's engine swap time. I have ~$2500 in my 1872. Maybe half that in my 782. Neither are worth what I have in them, but go see what $1400 or even...

    Coolin

    Carb set too lean, timing off, valve lash too tight, dirty cooling fins, lack of shrouds around cooling fins, improper operation (i.e. running under load at partial throttle) or some combination of those.

    782 fuel pump

    The Facet 40177 is a better choice, IMO.

    1330 only runs on gas poured down carb

    Most people add a shutoff switch between the tank and fuel pump where it is easily accessible by opening the hood. On the tractor in question here it would be even easier to reach because there are no side panels. IMO the electric cutoff switch is an UN-necessary complexity. The later models...

    1330 only runs on gas poured down carb

    1330 is magneto ignition, not battery ignition, so instead, the kill wire needs to be un-grounded in both the 'start' and 'run' positions.
  13. mgonitzke

    1330 only runs on gas poured down carb

    I don't use the aftermarket ones unless the OEM one is unavailable/stupidly priced (i.e. Kohler Command V-twin carb kit, or most of the Walbro rebuild kits, OEM is $50+, an absolute ripoff for what you get). KH-12-757-01 is like $17 or so...may as well stick with OEM for that price.

    Advice needed front end loader on 2284

    Mine will do about 300 lbs as shown here. I made a smaller bucket than the one it originally came with to help keep from hurting the tractor. I have moved tons of gravel with this and used it to clean up some piles left over when we had our sewer line replaced. It will not dig virgin soil, but...

    Wiring

    I would replace the battery cables. 6 gauge would be better than the original 8 gauge.

    PTO Clutch set screws

    McMaster-Carr has the cone point ones, they are not expensive if you have multiple tractors, and CCSpecialties has them them for $4+ shipping as Charlie stated above. I don't know where you are coming up with $45 for 3 set screws. You must be looking in all the wrong places.

    CCC982

    982 never had power steering from the factory. There was some sort of dealer-installed addon for it that is rare and from what I have read, didn't really improve the steering that much. It wouldn't have come with a Kohler, either...if it does, someone replaced the original Onan.

    782 front subframe wear?

    I'd use a carbide burr. I get stuff like that here. Dunno if they ship to Canada. https://drillsandcutters.com/sa3-3-8-x-3-4-cylindrical-carbide-burr-1-4-shank/

    129 low power at full throttle

    Yes, 0.010", 0.020", and 0.030" oversize pistons are available. That one is severely eroded. Engine was likely run lean for a long time.

    129 low power at full throttle

    He said in a previous post that pulling the choke when it bogs down doesn't help at all, so it is likely not a fuel issue, unless perhaps the gas has gone bad, but usually that causes hard starting. Plug gap is 0.035" for breaker point ignition per the Kohler owner's manual. I'll say it...
