I have a lead on a 582 Special that had the 16hp. B&S engine replaced with a 16hp. Kohler. Haven't seen it yet so don't know much more than that. Has anyhere done the 582 Special to 582 "standard" conversion?? Comments.

Sean-
Nice job on the 100! Is that a WHITE steering wheel I see? If so, let's see some more pics of that.

Also... What is that I spy in the background of your pic? Camaro/Firebird?

Well, the "fleet" are ready for snow. They may not look like much but I have done a lot of work to get here and have them running good. Now time to start working on the summer fleet.

That looks like a late 60`s Camaro with the round tail lights.

Nice snow removal team John. I like the cutting edge and skid shoes you added to the blower.

Ken, I replaced the o-ring and brake pucks on my 122 over the summer, I took the trans out of the tractor and tilted it vertically up and took the reduction gear housing off this way you don't have to drain any of the fluid, make shure if you do this you put the bolts back in where the frame bolts to the axel tubes or fluid will pour out of them when you tilt it (don't ask how I know).

Sean B. Very nice looking 100.

Last week there was a nice discussion about torque/re-toruqing head bolts when installing a new head gasket. Here is some pretty neat reading about head bolts... CLICK HERE.
