It was running up til about 3 years ago when the previous owner bought a newer zeroturn mower. I guess he sold the mowing deck a while back but that's ok i am gonna find a snow blade for it.

      @@mikestarcher Brake band wasn't strong enough to do anything. Originally the tractor (Bolens 1600) was popping out of gear going downhill. Repair shop took trany apart and said nothing wrong for $700 Can. Took it to a second place who looked at the tractor and said nothing wrong as they were patting me on my head although they admitted they hadn't tried it on a hill. Latest place (years later) (after the runaway) did reluctantly take it apart, found a whole bunch of gears needed replacing. I found a source for most of the gears, but not the two cluster gears. I imagine it was just a problem with the shifters. No-one up here will touch such an old tractor so I am learning as fast as I can. With your video I think I'll take the trany apart and see for myself. I did just buy a trany from a nice guy in Michigan that I hope I can figure how to install.

    @Georgiagreen317 23 дня назад

    I just ran across your video which you did a pretty good job with. I have for a very long time argued that the dirty belly screen was the major issue with the shortened life of the Kohler KT17 engine. What you discovered is very typical if the screen is still in place. Most are not. It's also quite rare to see the scrapers on the engine air intake still in place. Deere didn't provide nearly enough paths for cooling air on these machines and once that bottom screen is plugged as yours is, it pretty much chokes off what little air is available. They obviously cured that issue with the following model (318) as it and all others that followed are virtually riddles with holes in the tower area and side panels. Most of these screens and scrappers have long ago disappeared which then leads to the cylinder cooling fins getting plugged. And those seldom got attention. Once you recognize the need for keeping these areas clean, those KT engines will run as long as the rest of them. Nice job with the video.
