Thanks, dag. I grew up in D-town, and almost certainly delivered newspapers to your old house, if it was in the boro. I don't think there's a house in that boro I can't name from a picture.
Based on the recommendation of a friend who knows how busy I am, I'm going to try to find a mechanic to rebuild and set up one of these three engines for me. I think the best candidate is the original motor out of this cub, pulled from the tractor around 1981 and stored in a friend's attic. Maybe putting the original motor back will finally make this machine happy and put the tractor gods at ease.
Now, how do I find a good Kohler mechanic?
