    Low compression on K301

    The automatic compression release will prevent you from testing compression. The Kohler service manual shows how to do a crankcase pressure or vacuum test with a home made "U - tube MANOMETER." BUT that requires you to get the engine started. & running. Yes, head could be not flat and not...

    Highest Hours?

    Last tune-up I did on my Onan a set of points & condensor was $160 for the parts and a little something for UPS. That's why it's been sitting since 2013. Been a couple successful Thermoking diesel engine transplants into 982's but I'd like to put an air-cooled Duetz in one. I think packaging...

    Snow Thrower Tangles W/Dog Toy 🤣. This was a Pain in the Ars

    Kraig - I thought Art wound up his cord in his snow blower. Had to laugh, WE had contractors working on our house for about 2 months this past fall. I had a heavy 50 ft extension cord coiled up on the garage floor mostly to plug the car in on cold nights, or run a battery charger. And this...

    104 I purchased from the original owner

    Dad made the mistake of selling the #70 that we had since 1965 about 15-20 years ago to a co-worker that lived about a mile from their work. Dad drove past his place a half dozen times every day. Dad delivered the tractor, included the original operator's manual, spare key, even a full tank of...

    1982 IH pricing

    Wow, I'm surprised there's as many 982's around as their is with what they cost! I do remember looking at one while I was mowing my 50 ft by 150 ft lot with my #72 and 38" deck. Actually look me less time mowing with an 18 inch push mower than using my 38" deck on the Cubby. Didn't take long...

    Kirks transdenser K17 true accounts

    I've got Group 26 batteries for my 72 & 70, 600 + CCA, the 982 has the tiny U1 200 or 300 CCA, nothing bigger can fit under the seat. You guys ever notice KRAIG'S #1 125 SNOW BLOWER tractor has a battery mount behind the rearend for more weight on rear tires, and more room for a bigger...

    Cold Start

    I've got 3 Schumacher #SC 1305 battery chargers, one for each placed I store power equipment. First start of my zero turn in the spring is tough, seems all the gas evaporates out of the carb, takes a while to refill the carb float bowl. My first torpedo heater was a Knipco F98, 90,000 btu I...

    1982 1282 journey

    I used to mow with everything having OEM Good Year turf tires. Now everything I own has 23 degree Firestone lugged tires except my zero turn, and I've found lugged tires for it, just haven't ordered them yet. Was about 1963 that Dad let me mow the barnyard with our CC Original. I broke the...

    snow throwing video

    Sorry but had to laugh at your broken tibia. Had to be 15 years ago, I got my trusty #72 out on the evening before New Years and hooked to my smaller cart and loaded up a full load of Christmas wrap, boxes, anything that would burn, and a 12-pack of "Anti-freeze" and headed off to the burning...

    1650 "refresh"

    I put aluminum expanded metal on the bottom of my 982 with the stock B48G 20 hp Onan engine, the original bottom cover disappeared in the first 20 years before I got it. The ONAN really pulls in lots of cooling air, and grass clippings too, when I mowed with it I blew the expanded metal off with...

    Wheel weight ?

    KRAIG - I just rewatched the PD#1 video for the Umpteenth time. You pointed out Gordon Solum early in the video, he was there with his really nice 782. I bought his 982 he refurbished in 2000. I should have bought his 782 also. I'd see him at local shows, like the Edgerton, WI or Freeport, I'll...

    Wheel weight ?

    STEVE B. that nice looking CC could be the one I saw at PD#1. I think it made it onto Kraig's PD#1 video, and I still have the VCR tape but unfortunately I don't have a VCR anymore! Those of you that like to read parts books like Me may know this, but early gear drive CC's have plain bronze...

    JOHN, RENE - do a search on AG WHEEL EXPRESS, located in MASON CITY, IOWA. they have new wheels in stock, they ship by common carrier, I've bought TENS of Thousands of large ag tractor wheels & rims, they are surprisingly easy to damage if mishandled. Depending on rim width they cost between...

    Wheel weight ?

    JON - yes, concrete makes good cheap weights. Another suggestion, they use glass fibers to reinforce concrete now days, I'd add some to your mix to prevent cracking. The alloy steel foundry I worked for had a steel automobile shredder part that was almost exactly the same size as the IH...

    Tree trimming help

    PHILLIP - I've pulled full size farm wagons, hay racks, all kinds of things WAY bigger than a 7 hp Cub Cadet with tiny turf tires and no rear wheel weights should be hooked to. I was mowing the barnyard one day and Dad hollared at me to pull the empty hay rack across the yard. DAD and the...

    Cub Cadet wood splitter

    Lewis - How many drivetrain failures do we see in these pages? Not very darn many, just decades old springs or roll pins or whatever the prior owner substituted in place of those type parts gives up. Maybe a flat tire, or something causing the engine to shut down, like lack of gas. I'd be...

    Battery Reconditioning?

    I bought a "Champion" brand battery at Wally-world about 1993 for my '87 f-150 4wd couple months later I'm hurrying into the high school parking lot and hit the speed bump kinda hard. By the time I left the high school a couple loosened plates had discharged the battery enough the truck barely...

    Eggnog or moisture

    A co-worker 20 yrs ago was formerly a buyer of MRO (maintenence, repair, and operations machines and equipment at Tecumseh, He said the Snow King series of engines was THE BEST line of engines Tecumseh made. The good old cast iron Kohler K-series was the engine every other small engine was...

    rearend gasket replacement

    I've commented here before how great I think HYLOMAR UNIVERSAL BLUE GASKET SEALER is. It would be great on a paper gasket. Best to order it from Amazon.

    Parts washer fluid

    I'm with Charlie, and use Kerosene in my parts washer. It's crazy how expensive it's gotten. I don't think I'd want to try diesel fuel, it's almost as expensive. SON put Mineral Spirits in his parts washer, REALLY expensive!
