Hi just seen your post i have a DGT1700 as well. I have a set of new pistons ,rings , rods and gaskets for this engine if you need any parts .Also a new tiller and second hand deck
nothing like good ramps and a wench. lol I used to ride them up, but with an implement and my 200 lbs, that's nearly half a tonne. most ramps aren't rated for that much weight. I walk along them while they SLOWLY inch up. Hydrostatic drives make it easiet.
Nice project you have acquired there!. Seen these before somewhere. I believe your model is a YR60?. Is the Wisconsin 2 cylinder and hydrostatic drive?.
Would like to get my hands on a 'Wiso' one day.
hi i have a very nice wisconsin tjd 18hp twin if you are intrested
hi if its an inertia starter the cog may be stuck on the starter shaft spray the cog with wd40 and try tapping the starter with a hammer as you turn it over failing that pull the starter and see if you can free the cog
You might think about opening a you tube account then your videos would play automatically and wouldn't have a 10-15 min download time. Nigel has a awesome one as do many others here, its not too hard.
I've had both models, and both drove the transmission off the flywheel side, while earlier tube frames and large frames powered the transmission off the PTO side. Not saying one is better, just different. I noticed you have the same issue I have, the current battery is too big for the plastic hold down.
i prefer the Hydro much nicer to use and i like the sound of the kohler twin not sure if its the correct battery hold down
Actually the QT16 was a 16hp Onan Twin cylinder and the QS16 was the 16 hp Kohler single cylinder, the Q stood for Quiet model or Quiet line and the T and S stood for twin or single. The QT series and XL series Medium Frame tractors had the engine oriented 180 degrees differently than the earlier Bolens tractors.
Excellent video, you ran out of driveway, come do some of mine, lol. Did you know they made that same tractor with a 16hp Kohler k341 single cylinder, the QS16?
thanks yes was it called a QT 16 though
ive got a G16XL as well with a tecumseh oh16 but that has a belt drive rear tranny but shaft drive from engine
The guy i got the tiller from said that when he bought the tiller Bolens recomended using the weights i was a bit sceptical thinking front weights would be more useful but it does seem to work better tilling with them
collected it today its missing a double pulley from the GRS and the GRS belt the guy i bought it off is going back to the warehouse he got it from to have a look .He said its full of engines boats and parts PO was a bit of a hoarder bought loads of new speedboats engines etc had them in an airconditioned warehouse had 6 containers of new stuff as well
