Would you consider selling the lights separately? Also would be interested in buying the wheel weights.
Thanks

I have a set of weights for sale, if the seller decides to not separate. Email me [email protected]

The motor has no compression, shame on me for taking your word that the motor was good and ran.

I’m not familiar with the original motor, but does it have an automatic compression release like my 1250? You will not see any compression on a good motor if that is the case. Good luck!

I’m not sure I had a guy paint it for me, I’ll have to forward this to him. Thanks for the information and reply I appreciate it!

I got curious and looked up this engine, k241, and it does indeed have an automatic compression release, so all is probably fine.

last year i found a 61 original in original condition. ran great. has the hydraulic lift on the rear. seller wanted $1500. i didn't quibble. tractor like this is well worth that. i am adding a front bucket. and a Brinley style hitch, which i am building. i hope to keep from doing anything to keep it from its original condition. i think i can. have already been invited to participate in a parade near where i live, these old tractors don't have to die. they are killed by careless owners.

Ok thanks for the information, I forwarded it to the guy who painted it for me. Wished I would’ve taken small engines in school. I am lucky to be part of such a great group of guys willing to help!

I’m not sure how this engine works, when does the automatic compression kicks in to start the motor? Is this something I can find on you tube? Thanks

61 original would have a K161 engine unless it's been replaced.
I don't think there was a compression release on the early K161.

Brian, how long ago did you purchase the Original? It'd be hard to blame the seller if you waited years to try and start it. If it's been setting around for a couple of years a valve could have easily stuck open, especially if it's been stored in a damp location. The K161 engine would be unlikely to have a compression release. Check the specification plate, if it has a J suffix or higher it would have a compression release. Most likely it will have a lower letter than a J suffix however.

Oops sorry, the spec info I found on the web (tractor data I think) said k241 was the engine, so I was in error. I should have waited for someone more familiar with the 100, but it seemed no one else was going to comment. Very sorry for the confusion!

I don’t recall the model engine and I’ve never had a motor that sat for less than 2 years have any issues but you maybe correct. Thanks for responding and I truly appreciate input from the group including most of you that have more experience in this area.

Stu, a model 100 would have a K241. This first post in this thread is for an Original for sale, an Original would have a K161.

Ah I see, thanks
