The old stuff lasted 40+ years ya know.
The newer OEM Kohler stuff is actually made from better material than OEM, So I dunno how old you are, but i can tellya, I ain't gonna be around in 40 years to see if it outlast the original stuff or not!

Garnett C., WELCOME!

OK thanks. BTW the 27th annual Brown County Antique Machinery show is April 29 and 30 (this Friday and Saturday) At Nashville IN 45 mi south of Indy. Great smaller show. You can even bring the wife and she can browse the shops while you browse the tractors. More info at their website. Hope this plug is OK. If not, then delete.

Charlie P. That engineered rear tiller sure looks like a full floating, all terrain tiller.

Regarding that video of the makeshift pull-type tiller, I would like to see that work in Red River of the North clay soil. The soil in the video looked pretty light.

Wayne,

As redneck as that tiller contraption is, pulling it without a creeper isn't an engine issue. Basically no load, tiller engine is doing the work, it would kill the engine at idle way before you would ever have an overheat situation. Almost impossible to overheat a Kohler just driving at idle with no load to speak of.

Now run an IH tiller off the pto at low rpm and I would be a bit more concerned, but even then, it will kill the engine for lack of power way before it overheats.

Steve, I'm getting mixed signals, here. I'm under the impression that the higher the RPMs the better the air flow and better the cooling (mouse nests not considered). A friend that mows with a 123 can't keep head gaskets from blowing and I think it may be from mowing at too low an RPM instead of controlling speed with the hydro trans.

Ever notice that the Scratchhead emoticon is first on the list?
