That looks fun put a carburetor on this rear engine rider snapper those Rear bumpers are going to help the mower to stand up when you are working on the blade
@@robertmailhos8159 Normally they would but those two are about to snap, so they gotta go. Yea it’s getting its proper walbro back, the Nikki doesn’t work properly on these, air filter housing stops the butterfly from shutting all the way for choke and it is causing the choke linkage to bend and stick now and than. It runs properly with it, but without an air filter properly on it and the butterfly moving freely it defeats it. Walbro or the old one piece Briggs flo jets for these flatheads.
@@Mr_Tecumseh you got that right @Mr_ Tecumseh my 1985 series 5 extra tuff model rear engine snapper mower.has a 13 h.p.tecumseh Enduro x l I/c engine on it the original one was a 11 h.p Briggs and Stratton engine i.c with the exhaust valve rotator I did not check the oil in it One day so it went out with a broken connection rod
@@jarrettwalck3409 Yea, I think that’s the route I’m heading. After looking it over closer and seeing that it runs, drives and cuts already with no major problems, that’s 3/4 the battle right there. I’m going to try and locate the correct fuel tank and bracket for it cheap, if not I’ll get creative and add one I already have made for that style engine. Thanks for the suggestion.
Hey did you ever have one of those weedeater one rers? I picked one up from the scrapyard the other day running and driving starting on first pull, just needing cosmetic work.its Interesting to use but out of the dozens of tractors I've sold this is actually my first RER and have no idea how selling it will go
Like those ones they still sell at Home Depot, Lowe’s with smaller walk behind engines? No I never had one of them. The closest thing I had was a Craftsman LUV from around 2002 made by MTD(Lawn Utility Vehicle) that bagged, mulched, side discharged and when the bag/basket was removed also had a dump cart. That had one of those early Briggs 190cc inteks that was built out of a Quantum flathead and it had one of those MTD variable drive vari-belt transaxle’s. It was electric and rope start. I got $800 for that, but it was a nitch item, not many of those around. The one your talking about I never had, but they say those are at the bottom of the spectrum and since I get most of my stuff free, those things are usually done by the time people are ready to give them away. The few I have seen listed free were in bad shape. But ya never know I may get one in the future. Let me know how working on it and selling it goes. I think Henry, mowersandblowers had one.
Glad to see you're going ok. I never had issues with champion plugs. I just scrapped a bunch of old parts that sat for a while before moving.

Yep, low oil or not changing it is about the only way you can take one of those engines out. Got lucky with this one.
Grind it out. I use them
