Was seeing if I could use the dozer blade on my 7112H to scrape some loose rocks off my driveway, but the K301S decided to oil the dozer blade and front of the tractor instead. Did a very nice job too. Front crank seal is gone. Not gone, missing, as in fell out. :(
My BIG TEN was delighted to pick up the slack, and we had so much fun that we played with the town road afterwards. What a little beast. About 1/3 throttle in second gear and there is no stopping her. Guess the chains are going back on and she's going to be my number one snow plow this winter. :)

I love the Kohler CH-18 V-twin in my 2000 Sovereigns, and the Magnums are a nice engine, but my expereince with any engines with the model number starting with "K" has been kind of poor. And then there is the dreaded "Triad".....
Of course the Cub Cadet people around here pay big $$$ for K series blocks without holes in them, so there is a siver lining.... :)
I was kind of thinking of putting the engine from that T-16 in my 7112H before the K301 blows, but I am going to get the Homelite running before I make that decision.
I found the crank seal in the drive and its a standard automotive seal, and I stopped running the Kohler while there was still oil showing on the dipstick. No damage done and an easy fix |

You may be right, The tractor has been "chopped" at some point, and I am almost certain the seller was a dealer who took the tractor on a bad debt. Among other things the hydro was filled with 90 wt. gear oil when I got it. LOL
Redefines dont ask, dont tell, sold as is, for cash in hand. |

| The 12 hp Kohler we had in our 312d was a real dog. Could not keep pace with my old 10 hp Briggs in my B10 and couldn't keep exhaust valves in it. |

Yeh, thes old round hoods have to be the hardest working, toughest tractors to ever be called a 10 horse. |

I'm certain I'm not the only one who wouldn't mind seeing more of your "10 HP's"  |

I'm amazed by them constantly...the reliability, performance and smooth opertation. They do a LOT of work. Nothing much newer than the old Briggs singles really yanks my chain. I just like them. |

But the 32 CID Briggs singles are the same setup, and work proportionally harder. My 3416H usually doesn't have to work, just loaf... Thousand pound lawnmower with a 300 pound operator.  |

| The 16hp are hard to find up here. And sorry don't want to get rid of them. I use them in my pulling tractors. And to rebuild them is around $600/800 but you can find them on flee bay some times. |

| Joe, that's a steal and a half! I found one here for $250, but it was a bit too far for me to get to fast enough. I'm looking for one for a future project. I do know of a new 16 Briggs for $500, which looks like a very good price for a new one vs other asking prices I've seen. |
