My "Holy Grail" Kohler K301 Find
 

Well, it is not yellow, but, I know you guys like seeing surprise finds.

I went to look at a tractor at a recycling yard I had heard about. I brought it home. $250.

After tinkering with the points, the Kohler K301 runs! :bigthink:

The surprise was the hour meter works!

The machine only had 61.1 hours on it! :bigeyes:

I never heard such a "young" engine before, all of my K engines have been "tired" by the time they came to me.

The tractor has brakes. I believe the brakes locked up, and the machine was just parked, for 28 years! :bigthink:

MAN, that is a sweet running engine. :beer2:

WOW! :bigeyes: Great find CADplans

All those Gravelys have good M18 and K motors for repowers...

61 hours? are you kidding me? what a deal!:beerchug:

Nice score CAD!:beerchug:

Nice score, now the ?
What are you going to do with it fix it, put it to work , sell, or other ?:bigthink:

WOW! Awesome find!! :beerchug:

Awesome score, CAD!

I am going to "bring it back" to usable condition. I got a 10HP in June, and I have been really enjoying that one.

The steering brakes make this "new to me" 12HP kind of unique.

:drool2:

Now see if you can find the " sulky" & make a rider out of it!:biggrin2:
