Re: [MBZ] OT old kohler engine running rich?

You have to go used for most stuff. For a plow you need a 3pt hitch which was an option, then you need a sleeve hitch adapter and finally the plow.Actually a better option for a garden is a rototiller, they're pretty easy to find for those. I've got a front blade for my 70, it works okay,

Re: [MBZ] OT old kohler engine running rich?

Yeah it's been great. Built like a tank. I just use it as a mower and it never bogs down even in tall grass. It has turf tires which will slip on wet grass, otherwise I'd look into getting a front blade for it to clear the driveway in the winter. Plowing the garden is a good idea. My oldest son

Re: [MBZ] OT old kohler engine running rich?

Ahh, 12hp version, wide frame. Mine are both narrow frame but similar machines. The cool thing about these old Cub Cadets is that the transmission is a farm tractor transmission scaled down for use in a lawn tractor. They're very tough and use a real clutch drive so no belt to slip. With wheel

Re: [MBZ] Batteries, was: Daimler cheated too? (I'm sure VW feels better now)

The cables and clamps on my jump packs are comparable to good (not great) jumper cables and the wire is only about a foot long. In most cases I think the jump pack tries to put some juice back into the battery (i.e., charge it) before a start attempt. But I've seen demos where the engine

Re: [MBZ] OT old kohler engine running rich?

How old, which engine? I've got a Cub Cadet 70 from 1965 currently awaiting an engine (Kohler K161) rebuild. I've also got a 72 from 1967 with a relatively (10 year old) new rebuild. Those 7hp engines will do pretty amazing things, not quickly but they'll get there. Usually carbs don't go

Re: [MBZ] Batteries, was: Daimler cheated too? (I'm sure VW feels better now)

The thing about those boost packs, I look at the size of the cables (tiny) that go to the clamps and I think about the amperage they claim (huge) the pack will produce and I think "There ain't no way." Didn't Kaleb have a clamp melt off once? You can't cheat physics. -Curt On Saturday,

Re: [MBZ] Daimler cheated too? (I'm sure VW feels better now)

My first VW was a '98 Jetta (A3) and is one of my favorite cars ever. A bit rattly and unrefined but really fun to drive. With the TDI engine it made around 50mpg pretty much the whole time I owned it.The majority of the problems I had with the car were rust and age related. It finally got to

AGM=Absorbed Glass Matt. Instead of plates immersed in liquid sulfuric acid, AGM plates are separated by fiberglass mats that are saturated (like a sponge) with a thickened electrolyte that stays in place (doesn't run off). These batteries can usually be mounted in any orientation. They are

I found AGM batteries are a really good thing. In the winter of 2019 my 2006 Mercedes E320CDI needed a new battery. When they checked the serial number of the old battery, it was found to be the original battery sold in that car when new. That was 13 years and 200,000 miles ago. I had the
