A Craftsman. What am I thinking???
#128512;#128512;#128512;
Here's why. The same Kohler Magnum that is in The DA 1918 and Sunstar counter part.
It popped up on the local craigslist today for 500.00 obo. After a lot of talking (begging), I traded a nice self propelled craftsman and 100.00.
I was wanting an engine for my newest find, a DA 1914 that was my fathers tractor he had sold 10 year ago to get a zero turn.
It is the second tractor from the right. It has 635 hours on it. The engine broke he rod about 5 years ago and the lady pushed it out in her horse pasture. I have started buffing it and slowly fixing the minor problems with hope of finding a replacement 14hp engine but then this 18hp magnum popped up about 20 miles from me. The engine runs great.
And here it is. In my Ultimate/Sunstar lineup.
I am one tractor away from tracking down and owning all of the AC lawn tractors my father brought home from his dealership for his yard. So far, I have the B10, B110, B212, 916 (rough) and now this 1914.
I am still trying to locate the 710 he had but no luck tracking it down yet. He has some ideas where it may be but I am going to wait until winter to start chasing it again because he thinks it is out on a farm pushed off in the weeds or possible a ditch. |

Got the engine pulled and taken thru the car wash. Going to finish cleaning the block tonight and spray some bbq black on it.

Nice line up of Deutz-Allis tractors. A group photo of green Simplicity's is kind of rare. |

Great lineup of heritage tractors and that 18 will be right at home in the 1914. Hey that cowcatcher on the front of the Craftsman is worth half the price. :) |
