Matt,

That's the bracket that we always install, heavier duty and a quick bolt-in repair. I've always felt the the early design was a weak point and by reinstalling ...

Seems that the K331 was produced in the late 50's to early 60's, I have never seen one. A google search references it being used in the Economy garden tractors.

The biggest thing that I see that will be a problem is the fact that this engine has the 2 quart oil base. That raises the crankshaft ...

Dave,

Interesting, your soil must drain well. Here in Northern Illinois I've only seen a couple of farmers out in the field and only one planting corn. Saw a couple posts from sweet corn farmers that had planted, but they always push the envelope as the first ones with corn for sale wins.

Nice work, Harry!

I can only imagine what a vice like that would cost new today.

Thanks Bob. Hardly seems worth looking on Amazon. Do you know approximately when Ingersoll started adding the hydraulic reservoir sleeve inserts (C42540 and C33167)? My tractor was built in 2001.

The C14619 4" hoses are standard 3/4" single cloth braid with a 300 LB working pressure. $5.09 ea from Ingersoll, if you are going to purchase in a bulk length to save a buck, beware of Amazon sellers as there is a lot of 150 LB hose that looks the same. Just make sure what you're buying.

Harry ...

This one has a 48” deck and like you mentioned Bob easy to drive. The dealer gave me the drive by training and I played with it in their parking lot. The backed ip unto my trailer and brought it home. It will take me a few times to master driving it though. I liked the easy to drive and bagger ...

My neighbour has a few of them for his landscaping buisness , loves them . Sturdy machines , many love them . Me , I find them confusing to drive , but I have difficuties with all stick controls .


I always found the drive controls to be one of the easiest as compared to the two lever systems ...
