Today we mounted the Toro 12.5hp flathead engine onto my yardmachines carcass of crap. I had to modify the front hood bracket to accommodate the toro muffler set up. I had to bypass the safety switches and rewire a new fuse holder. Removed the deck and attached the double stack pulley. Installed a new battery and throttle lever and cable. Installed a new fuel line and filter. Took a test drive on my driveway and it runs and drives well. Next we will address the mower deck which appears to be seized.
After installing the engine from my craftsman LTV10 lawn tractor, I received my new flywheel, after installed it doesnt seem to charging at full 12 volts. As suspected, the stator was damaged from the DYT4000, therefore, I had to order a new stator. While I wait for it to arrive, I live up and free the pulleys and spindles on the mower deck and install it. Aside from the stator, this tractor is now alive again. I will sell this along with the matching dump trailer and install the snow plow on my GT6000.
I picked another free lawn tractor with trailer. The engine runs but there may be an issue with the transmission as it’s very hard to shift. It did not come with a battery and the steeri g sector may have stripped teeth. Nevertheless, the tractor has a working engine and has good wheels which I could always use should I scrap it. I will get it running though and figure out if it’s a salvageable tractor after I do an engine swap on the other free Craftsman LT1500 I got the other day. One tractor resurrection at a time.
I got this tractor for free after I sold my $100 trailer to this guy Tom for $40. The tractor looked rough and my initial assessment was that this would be a pain to get running again. Much to my surprise, this was a super easy diagnosis and repair. All it needed was an oil change to extract the contaminated oil and replace with new fresh SAE 30 oil supplies by Lucas Oil Products.
It did need a new fuel line and I added a new fuel filter and fuel shut off valve from ProPartsDirect.net
I cleaned it up and adjusted the carburetor, and fixed the lights. Everything else was in good order.
On top of selling my Cub Cadet for $300, I pieced together a cracked hood and fabricated brackets to remount to the tractor and welded the mower deck of its rotted areas with sheet metal. To smooth out the sharp edges, I applied some JB Weld and wait for it to cure overnight.

I picked this free mower up along with another one off the street thanks to a tip from my friend Quinn “The Mailman”.
The mower was apart and the previous owner had recoiled the engine cover backwards. I repaired the recoil starter, but turns out the engine had a blown connecting rod.
After my hand injury, it bothered me that I screwed up that main jet accident and I wasnt able to get that carburetor going. While my hand still hurts, I think my ultrasonic cleaner and help me a bit. I screwed that main jet back in and blew out the holes with @lucasoil brake parts cleaner and dunked the carb into my ultrasonic cleaner. I blew out all the holes again with an air compressor and guess what? Will it run?

In episode 2 of my L100 fix, I installed a dual circuit stator to replace the 10/16 amp stator that was originally on the engine. I added a starter motor, replaced the magneto, drained the gas tank and blew it out. Added a battery and gave it a first crank. It started up with go go juice and turned over!
