Finally getting to this non Case tractor.

Engine blew up in this tractor in January or February. So I fixed up another engine to put in. Kohler k321 14hp. This engine knows this tractor. It’s been in there and blew up before. Long story on this tractor.
Any way, we are finally getting tractors serviced and this one was in the pile.
It broke one of the engine mounts of the frame. Never like those rubber mounts. So welded the mount back on. Took all the old rotted broken rubber mounts out. Enough of that. Welded metal blocked in with holes in them. The engine mount will bolt to the new blocks. And engine will be solid. Just like the older ford tractors that had the engine base welded to the frame. So lots to do yet, but the motor should be bolted in tomorrow. Then it’s on to see if this engine will run. If so, on to finish the install, service the tractor, put the tin work on and install the blower and service it.
Hoping it works.
The walk behind blower you see, I bought new Nov 1990.
