Good job mate, like the piston ash tray

Loving the gauges mate, the face's are a good idea

With the threat of cold weather coming I thought I had better saw some wood up.

Thanks, its only got one pedal, and my drive is quite steep, I wasnt sure if the brake was going to hold it, so I was ready for a quick exit

Thanks Paul, been meaning to stick it on you-tube for age's

Congratulations to you both Chris, you'll have to make a roll on / roll off trailer for the buggy now, all the best to you both. Chris & Pam

Yes I remember now Paul, I just cant find one but I keep looking

My thoughts aswell Chris, The Cub has a Kohler that I have never seen, the block casting is totally different to any ive had, tried them all on Pauls Cub

For the money I paid for it I would have had it anyway, seems a shame to just give up on it as I have all these parts in stock, anyway iam always up for a challenge

I'am sure it can be rebored Norm, but that costs and ive got to buy a piston so I might as well fettle about with what ive got

Lucky he didn't spot the tranny diff and shafts, James

Had another go at the engine, dropped the sump off and unbolted the big end, managed to nock the piston down a bit, cleaned of the rust in the bore and then managed to get the piston out, the bore has had it which is a shame as the internals look really clean. pulled out some old stock from under the bench and found one with a spark and compression , the only thing it has is a broken head bolt and no threaded hole in the end of the crank, so the question is do I drill and tap the crank or swop it with the duff engine ?

I told you a while ago that I don't always get the easy one's Chris
