That's a 100, Bob. Also, the fenders are mounted wrong. :beerchug:

bvanzalen 06-21-2010 02:55 PM

lol...I hadn't noticed. Did the 100 come with a creeper gear? Trying to figure what to offer the guy...

nickvanorman 06-21-2010 03:09 PM

the fenders look kinda good like that actually. and the 100s accepted a creeper. can't tell from the pics if it has one or not though

ACecil 06-21-2010 03:45 PM

Bob, the creeper was an option for the 100.

bvanzalen 06-21-2010 04:42 PM

Thanks guys. I'm going to look at it tomorrow.

ACecil 06-21-2010 05:00 PM

Good luck, Bob. You'll like the 100, it'll grow on you. From the pics, it appears to have a replacement engine. The replacement ones were black. :beerchug:

bvanzalen 06-21-2010 05:07 PM

Yep..that's what I'm learning. The ad says it's an 8 hp. I might pass on this one, I'd like to find an all original 100.

ACecil 06-21-2010 05:19 PM

Bob, I believe, it has the 10 hp engine. You can see the muffler sticking out just below the hood, in the first pic.

bvanzalen 06-21-2010 05:27 PM

Allen,

Even if it's a 10hp it's a replacement. Correct?

ACecil 06-21-2010 05:36 PM

More than likely, it's a replacement, because the engine is black.

bvanzalen 06-21-2010 05:43 PM

Ok. Even though I like tractors in original condition better, this looks like a nice one so I think I'll still take a peek at it. Thanks again Allen.

It looks like a 10 HP the air cleaner looks to big to be a 7HP aiir cleaner .

ShaggyC1016 06-21-2010 05:53 PM

I would still go look at it. My 102 had a black engine but it was the original. The PO rebuilt it and painted it black himself. You never know, the 100 might be the same way.

ACecil 06-21-2010 06:31 PM

Anytime Bob! I agree with you, I'd still go look at it. :beerchug:

TEET 06-21-2010 06:48 PM

I agree with Allen, it will definitely grow on you. Probably has a replacement engine. Based on the exhaust exit, and air cleaner it looks to be a K241. My 127 has a replacement k301 manufactured in 1994, and other than being black, its an exact replacement. Look for the Kohler tag near the lower-left side of the blower housing, or if its missing or painted over you might be able to still see the chrome decal on top of the blower housing under the tank area.

Check it over good when you go to look at it. Check the clutch, gear shift movement, leaks on the tranny, cracks on the frame near the front of the engine, repairs to the frame by previous owners, extra holes drilled in the sheet metal and frame, etc. Any of these can either kill the sale (if its really bad) or help you chew the price down if necessary.

Good luck,

Jeff (teet)

Thanks for the good advice! I'm going to look at a CC lawn sweeper in the same part of the state tomorrow. I'll let you know how it all turns out.
