Greetings! Ive found this old square fender 112 in my local craigslist. Ive had it for about three years now just sitting around waiting for a resto. Well I'm finally ready to get after it! First thing I did was hook up my jumper box to it and see i it would turn over. And what do you know? It did! Took a quick compression test, 50 pounds... Not too worried at that point because it had been sitting so long. So I decided I should get it running before I do anything more...
So I hooke a different gas source onto the carb and it fired for a while and then finally took off. Ran it for about ten minutes, to the point where I couldnt see ten feet away in my shop. So needless to say it smokes.
My plans for this one is to re ring the engine and relapp the valves new gaskets etc. With a newly rebuilt engine I will use it for a toy to mess around snowblowing my driveway. Which brings me to my next moment. The tractor came with some sort of bracket mounted on the front of it. Well ive done some research on the bracket and have come to the conclusion that it is an adapter bracket for a 36 snowblower, to mount of the square fender tractors! Pretty exciting because I have a 36 snowblower for my round fender!
So here are some pictures of the tractor, and what I have done so far. Ive gotten the deck off, the hood, muffler shroud, and carb, which is currently being dipped in carb cleaner! So far this project is off to a good start but we will see how the engine looks when I pull it apart.
Thanks for bearing with my book above:fing32: I will keep you guys updated as much as possible!
