collected my first major project from a very kind man who donated to me. engine all running but the rest needs lots of TLC

I thought I'd post this up as it is, well was a stationary engine.. I bought it cheap on Fleabay for once it was quite local.. It used to power a saw bench. It turns over by hand and feels to have good compression... There is fuel in the tank that smells quite fresh-ish so many it's not been that long since it has run.. This is the first time I had seen a Kohler K series with a low mounted starter motor... and I've seen a few K's over the years! My plans for it?? If it turns out to be a good engine I do have a use for it, but not in a Wheel Horse... Maybe near a Wheel Horse, but not in one

you only had to ask ian ive got drills that would do that in one hit

Great work Matt. i just love the suitcase weights , i have really enjoyed following this projects , thanx for the regular updates

Very neat old truckster you have there. I don't have one, but I do have the engine out of one. I really like the look of these engines, and I keep thinking, I'll use it on a project some day. Thanks for the pics, and here are a couple pics of my engine. Matt

Nope, no more clues Neil.. I'm not even saying which Wheel Horse it might be near

Hear hear

I'm in awe of your engineering skills! I can paint and pretty things up fairly good, but you sir are the master when it comes to a build!!!
