hpearce 40 #26 Posted October 5, 2015 Could this be the remains of a skimmer, it has 3 weight carrying rollers http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ransomes-Crawler-Tractor-Compact-Caterpillar-Tractor-Kohler-Co-Engine-Project-/311459055714?hash=item4884680862 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #27 Posted October 5, 2015 Could be. It looks to have the reduction gears. Jonathan or Rhys will have more idea. Nice Kohler twin if it's ok. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Rocboni 257 #35 Posted October 5, 2015 What's the kohler worth, if its running and if it's not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
expeatfarmer 591 #36 Posted October 6, 2015 I am already on the case thanks, the running gear will help me restore my skimmer to original. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
expeatfarmer 591 #37 Posted October 6, 2015 I bought it, chuffed to bits, the three speed and clutch are intact and also has the pto output gearbox which is missing from mine and different to MG6. 2 nigel and diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
expeatfarmer 591 #38 Posted October 16, 2015 1311 Skimmer 2 arrived tonight, after dark but managed to get a reasonable look at it. Still not sure which machine it actually is, looks to have quite a few differences to my other one. Kohler twin is cool, electric start alternator etc, not my cup of tea though I will move it on I think. Looks to be a fair size could it be 18/20 Hp? I will try for some better photos tomorrow. 1 Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
