Willy Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I don't have pic yet so I'll just tell. I have been remodeling a lady's kitchen and I noticed a Crapsman Rider setting in some bushes at her neighbors house It looked like it had been there awhile I seen a girl out raking so I asked if it ran she said no do you want it,not being one to turn down a freebie I hauled it home. It's a twin cyl 16hp I hooked up the charger shot a little gas in the carb and it fired right off. It wouldn't stay running,when I get time I'll check the filter Etc. The deck is froze up but thats a little thing. I took a little time to look at the crapsman, I put a new ignition sw. in it,drained the tank what I got out of the tank sure didn't smell like gas. I put in fresh gas and she purrs like a kitten, (well maybe a Tom cat) It has a few other issues I need to check out. I don't have time now to dig into it,a good winter project.

Ketchamized Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Jim, It never ceases to amaze me how some people would just "dump" a working machine because of something small wrong with it. It's sad to imagine how many tractors are "junked" because of something simple. Well, sad for them, good for us. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a CC 107 with a newer engine and electric lift that way last winter. It was running but quit moving when they parked it. One pin in the drive shaft was all it needed:D. All they can do is say NO. And when your married you hear that word alot anyway;). Greg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLT Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 You might need a fuel pump kit as the diaphragm gaskets get hard from lack of use. It should be built into carb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
