I looked over my new 418-A the PTO Clutch break bracket was not on the tractor . so I found off another Kohler 8 HP upstairs in my Garage from a C-81 or C-85 motor . I have other foot rests to use because the one's on the 418-A is rusted under the rubber foot rest pad . It needs a speed nut because it is held by a screw only L.H. belt guard this is bent and twisted I have other parts to replace them taken off C-Series tractors Once I'm done to make it look Good I will take pictures . Ben Tony , Mike . Ben.............

Sounds like you have a plan Ben .
Mike......

Mike, Yeah It's a Fun tractor . Ben....... I will post some pictures to show you what I've did to make it look better

I replaced the lift bar with bushing it was loose held by a Cotter Pin . I see the parking break lever is disconnected The instruction plate is cracked near the motion lever I have another one my '79 C-121 AUTOMATIC parts tractor to replace it . Ben.............. Wheel Horse made in the Great American

Mike, I replaced the front instruction plate because it was Cracked near the motion lever and the parking brake was disconnected .I've found the wire tucked away you'll , Tony will be upset at me I took out the motion lever to put another Cotter Pin in I had a time to put it in the small hole in the brake rod . Ben....

Poor 418 has been getting a serious teardown... didn't seem to be that much wrong with it when rideaway senior had it or sparkiees66 or myself and the parking brake worked when I dropped it off

been working on the 416 too...... gotta order a fresh choke cabel, headlight eyebrows, find a hood thats a bit straighter with decals.... fix the oil leak, rebuild the carb and maybe 1/2 a dozen other things.....

Ben.... both tractors where good solid running units that needed abit of TLC, thats why a straight bare tractor for tractor swap worked for me. Neither tractor is even close to junk.... I'm starting to get a bit annoyed that every single thing thats "wrong" with the tractor is being posted here with my name attached.

Tony

Mike or Tony , I did an oil job on my 418-A it needs some new SAE 30 so I've drain the old stuff and put in 1 1/2 quarts then started the tractor ran it around then checked the dipstick . I put 23x8.50-12's GREEN - SAVER turf tires on from my Commando 8 I trade to Wild Bill for ( 2 ) C-121 AUTOMATICS one restored by the previous owner before he pass away and the unrestored now a parts tractor . Ben.....

I think the oil in it only had a couple hours on it Ben. I know the tranny fliud and tranny filter is new.
Mike........

Ben,
I merged the two threads with the same title. It's not necessary to start multiple threads on the same subject.

Guy's , I meant no harm to make everyone feel better I will swaped back the 418-A parts back foot rests - belt guard off my C-121 AUTOMATIC with no motor . I'm really sorry to make them upset me I feel because someone is annoyed at this person myself then to post his name all over the place on here I've should not deserve the tractor . Ben :

Mike, I started the 418-A up then the ENGINE OIL LIGHT flashed on - off . I
plan to use this tractor not tear it down if your at me I will understand I'm so very sorry . Ben..........

Terry, It's no problem next time I post one thread . Ben...

Tony, The 418 parking brake still works I put the correct round phillips head screws in then someone put a hose clamp with two washers on the brake rod I'd took that off it works fine now . Ben

Mike, Yeah I know you told at my house and over the phone . Ben..........

I'm sorry Treed . Ben
