Picked this one up a few days ago.

Slight grass fire from grass building up around the muffler. Took out the PTO wiring. Easy fix.

Took it for a test cut. Governor does not seem to be responding load changes. I guess I'm removing the bagger so I can get access to the carb/linkage/ governor area.

Only 230 hours on the thing.

 

if the gov is spring function could the fire have cooked the temper out of it?

 

You check the compression on that b****? That has the look of a unit that may have never had an oil change.

 

More Built-Rite action today

Elm, maple, oak and hackberry

 

I had a chance to run the unit without the parasite vacuum system attached.

Running thru tall, green, spring grass, the unit hogged right thru the grass. No bogging was noticed. It shredded and blew clippings out the schute at top moving speed.

The governor is operating as normal.

I will move the governor spring to another hole on the governor arm. I forget which way makes it more sensitive to load changes. I got 50/50 chance of getting it right.

I will close with say I have never done a rebuild with such a small engine. Everything else I've dealt with was a 22 hp or more north.

 

It's impressive what those old steam powered engines could pull.

Found an interesting YT channel. This guy loves to add accessories to his tractor. He's done several things I'm interested in doing, including this right side step.

yeah right side step is something that could be pretty handy cause i do exit both sides..... thats a nice low profile one too. didnt even click on the vid & can tell its a Kioti by the way the lines are ran under that floor pan. its one of the few complaints i have with it.

 

The neighbor that mows my Hayfield had a hydraulic hose unscrew and come loose yesterday. So this morning I saw him and I asked who blew a hydraulic hose he said me it came loose so I took him over some permatex and we got it all hooked back up so hopefully that'll solve his issue he's up kicking hay now. Told his wife if he needs me to come get me don't hesitate.

 

Sold my trailer.

Gotta get rid of this log splitter

I think it's going to the scrap yard with the old trailer and bumper

 

Have you tried to fix it?

 

It works. I just can't use it and have tried to give it away and sell it no takers.

 

Damn if you were only a little closer, I could put that to use...

 

Look your in TN I'm in WNC how far are you from Ktown in hours?

 

Hmm, about 3 hours to Knoxville and about 4 hours to Gatlinburg.

 

Alright the big question is how far are you willing to drive.
Now when I got it I tried it and blew a hose. I replaced the hoses but my b7100 is really too small to get any use of it.
It's yours if you want it, I would change the oil in it and it should be ready to go. It's been sitting since I got it.
I'd be willing to meet you in TN.
The question is where?

 

If you're willing to hold on to it for a while longer, I will likely be planning another Distillery trip up to Sevierville/Pigeon Forge.

 

I'll hold on to it. You tell me when your plans are for and we can meet up and have lunch.
It's been sitting here for a few years now.
