Picked up 2 junk quads for IFS parts and a third tractor. Has a 16hp Kohler single.

Missed a missing PTO on it, and I wired it enough to start it and it sounds like it needs a rebuild. Disappointing.

Adjusting timing helped (set points) but it’s not perfect… shoved to back of shop for now. May just be parts.

all parts to put the 16hp Kohler together right are in. fuel pump, head gasket, starter solenoid. I _think_ some of the gaskets in that head gasket kit will help me fix a leak in the 12hp Kohler on the already-built tractor too.

Got a how-to on adjusting the bypass in the travel control valve so that I should put more power to the ground, too.

I haven't quite figured out how I want to do foot travel control yet but it sure does have me thinking about a small plasma table instead of continuing to hand-cut parts.

You’re probably correct.

The k341 16hp single does have some pretty loose bearings. I was able to feel crank to rod through the fuel pump hole.

If hard parts are less than a couple hundred I might consider a rebuild but meh. I’ll leave that one for later.
