bowtiebutler956 166 #251 Posted January 25, 2015 Very nice work Mark, and I love all custom decals on the gauges, etc.. It really makes it look like it came that way from Wheel Horse. Amazing! Matt 1 meadowfield reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 1,900 #261 Posted January 31, 2015 Today's update... Beside the new headlight unit, I have braved the cold to just about finish the wiring. Which whilst it's my strongpoint, I get zero enjoyment from! Wired the lower dash panel and used a PC style connector so it's removable. Tested it.... It works! Plus I now have switch on and off able lights 5 Cub Cadet, diggerjames, nigel and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

meadowfield 1,900 #268 Posted February 25, 2015 Another £100 or so lighter after import, I finally got fed up of the oil slick on the workshop floor and ordered this. Looks like an engine rebuild is now on the cards 1 Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #269 Posted February 25, 2015 Are those kits unavailable over here, Mark? Or even more costly? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #270 Posted February 25, 2015 I could get the bits here, but £70 for just the piston and rings, another £40 for the full gasket, oils seals and con rod seemed like a better deal. Our lad has had two k241 rebuild kits from the same chap so should be good to go 1 Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slf-uk 914 #271 Posted February 25, 2015 Are you planning to bore the cylinder or stick with standard? I would be very interested to understand what you decided to to do any the reasons (I have a couple of Kohler's waiting for the same work). Thanks Iain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #272 Posted February 25, 2015 the bore isn't scored nor is there any massive wear marks - so it will stay standard. However the piston has quite a bit of sideways movement and the oil ring is non-existent! Given it's been split at some point and the gaskets are junk, I just want to stop it burning oil and dribbling, spitting out of every orifice. A 550cc displacement causes a lot of crank pressure and pushes oil out of places you'd never imagine. I once took the dipstick out when it was running and It's not going to be a massive worker, more of a show piece - but it certainly will be put through it's paces and I will test the whole 16hp 2 bowtiebutler956 and Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
meadowfield 1,900 #273 Posted February 28, 2015 Teeny update... Tension spring added to hold the diff lock out an make sure it disengages properly. Trying to come up with a linkage that works across the pivot point. 1 Cub Cadet reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
