Thanks Matt,Good to know

I will look closer, a few have a very distinct IH. I do suspect some have been changed over the years. I hadn't thought about the engine bolts, but it makes sense that they would be Kohler bolts, and not have IH. Thanks for the help.

hello guys today i went to my local dealer to pick up a air filter for my 73 and i told him that there was a k241ain it and he said that the 70s came with a 7hp kohler when i bought the tractor from the orginal owner i asked if it was the orriganal motor and he said yea so was this a rare thing or was the po liein to me and i my 73 more like a 100 now?

Lee-
Here is my variation on your theme. My wife says I think too much, so I skipped the hacksaw, chucked the spindle cap in a bench-vice and plunged an angle grinder with a cut-off wheel in from the bottom. (which was facing me as I did it.)

I would agree if you think that the slot is a bit on the wide side as compared to your hack-saw version, (it's not as wide in person as it looks in the picture) but I do have to compliment you on this method, because even with the same old rusty bolt in there it's as if they are welded together. I'll have to pick up a nice allen-head cap screw sometime this week.

Real nice!!

You might want to consider drilling a hole at the termination of that slot so it doesn't try to crack.

Andrew C: The Model 70 & 100 were exactly the same except for the hood decals and engines. The Model 70 came with a K-161-T Pull Start as standard (K-161-S Electric Start Optional) and the Model 100 came with a K-241-S Electric Start standard.

did the starter generators actually come painted yellow or was that one of those things in the pictures that don't make sense?, like the fact that there is no belt tensioner bolt in the worm gear setup of that 70.

Matt, your eyes win that one. Somtimes it is funny what gets left out of the old pictures. The "mule drive" and belt are there but no means to tighten the belt that day. Someone missed their coffee.
