meadowfield 1,900 #2 Posted April 19, 2016 Almost any 8 speed built between 1970 and 1990... Engines are all kohler k series or magnums, which are bombproof if if you plan to rotorvate, then probably go for 12-16 Hp. Model wise that's a big list, but anything from raider 12/14, through C-120/160, C-121/161 up to 316-8. we are all running 30-40 year old machines 1 diggerjames reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

woz 44 #4 Posted April 19, 2016 had quite a pleasent afternoon mowing today, the clutch starter switch is playing up so i shorted the wires,then the engine started hunting, i think iv narrowed that down to the fuel cap breather being blocked apart from that the b111 has been great,....its going to be nice adding to the wheel horse collection 6 DevonianRedneck, the showman, TITCH and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
