goatfarmer Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 ...since the ad said"Deutz Allis 16HP".But after driving an hour and a half,came home with an AGCO Allis instead.Has a 16HP Vanguard that dropped a valve,and pretty much destroyed the motor.Also a 48" deck. Don't know if I'm going to fix it,or part it.
comet66 Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Looks to be in pretty nice shape, like it might be worth fixing.
PhanDad Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Looks in pretty good shape from what's visable in the pic - maybe too good to part out. Wish you good luck with it regardless of its fate.
MPH Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Heck, I'd say count your blessings, its not that green:p
AC808 Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Kenny I like it...! If I were you Id look for a Briggs 16 or 18hp twin... Id think that it would drop right in. And a 48" deck? Nice find!
TomMaryland Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I've got the same tractor but '92 in a Broadmoor. Those vanguards are really touchy on the valves. I just did another valve job this summer, and have a spare engine laying in wait for it.
comet66 Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I have a couple of trouble free Vanguards, what kind of valve trouble do they have.
Killer_A-C Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I am looking at buying a twin to this tractor. Do they have a replacable hydro filter? Thanks,Matt
goatfarmer Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 I have this tractor with a trashed Vanguard,and I bought a Broadmoor last year,that also had a trashed Vanguard 12.5HP(threw a rod).According to both previous owners,they both were serviced reguarly,and weren't being worked hard,when they let go.Maybe a coincidence,I don't know. I may try to fit an I/C to this one.One problem is having to come up with a fuel pump,since the tank is under the seat. Matt,I'm not sure about the replaceable filter,I'll have to look.
BLT Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Mr Goat, fuel pump should be easy, as in a stand alone vacuum pump or a Napa electric pump. IC's should be easy to get such as Murray's where or MTD's where the engine outlasts the mower. A 12 HP if nothing else would handle that frame just right.
RayS Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 I`ll have to agree with Marty on this. That Deutz green would take some getting use to.
