That's one tough looking tractor, Mr. B.

That K341 really fills up the engine compartment!

Tom H and Jeff B - yes it does say Delco (on the top), Remy (on the bottom) and on the 2 lines in the center it says "Made in USA". It is a condenser. I know IH used S/G's and Volt Regulators by Delco but I thought the condenser was a Kohler provided part. So, am I correct this is a replacement condenser??? Here's another pic:

Steve B - now on that "Cheater 169" I know what you mean about the steering wheel, and I had to do some "fanag'lin" on my muffler as well - here's a pic of my wheel (but I had to put the muffler at the bottom of the page):

Couple things tho - I thought the engine shroud for a 14hp was smaller than a 16hp. Did you use the flywheel off a 14 or remove the ring gear from the AQS so the 14 would work?

Also, here are a couple things your Cheater is probably missing:

Jeff, I am one step ahead of you. I have the 169 chassis still looking for a K341 to put in it. Last owner tried selling it as a 169 until I looked it over good and it only had a K241 in it. The mistake he made was showing me his 100 puller and the new engine he just built over the winter to go into it. A nice looking K341 was sitting on the floor. I only gave him half of what he wanted for the tractor and mower. I put a K321 in it for now until I find the right engine.

Wes we are not that far from each other, so watch for 2 of the k341s and I will do the same.

In reality I would like a true 169 but then I that might take a while.

Jeff and Wes - here are a couple pics of what my GPS zeroed in on. The hood and seat are pretty rough on the first one, but the 2nd one has a decent hood. Ooh, and both units have tags like the last pic.
(under edit - I don't know what happened to the pics so I'll try again on the next thread).
