I had a 504 and if I remember right, the deck is just held on by R clips. If you get it off, turn it upside down and soak the bolts in releasing fluid. Or apply some gentle heat.
Nice work Richard. Can hardly wait to see what it's off.
BTW. My father had 'The Book of The Villiers Engine.' When I was 19 it was loaned to an apprentice, where we worked at the time. The dipstick left it in a pub and it had gone when he went to retrieve it.
Pauls not been on here since July 2017. Hopefully someone may know where he is and let him know.
Paul at Meetens may be able to help you. He's quite a clued up and helpful chap. Google Meetens to get in touch.
I'm in need of a sump pan for a Kohler 301as 12hp. This is the deep one as fitted to Wheel Horse C-125. Have a look in my C-125 rebuild thread. Step-by-Step Restoration.
Got another day in the workshop. Sorted and replaced the bonnet. All that's left now are the tach-o-matics to paint and fit. Touch up some bits of paint work and order graphics.
Another exhaust will be made later. May not be a stack though.
That's it. Horse ready to be put back into harness.
Took time off from working on the kitchen and got into the workshop. Got the 125 from the corner where it's been sitting to wire up the lights and one or two other bits. Lifted the bonnet and where the fingers locate the metal work gave way. Front of bonnet hit the floor. So bonnet is now on the bench. I'll make a re-enforcing plate for it. And of course some paint work to repair.
