Serf 515

I recently finished installing a 12.5 hp Briggs I/C vertical shaft engine in place of my blown up 5 hp. The tractor now only has to run at half throttle to cut grass or pull a trailer. I didn't put the engine on for any reason for it was the only one I had at the time and the whole tractor it came out of was only $100. I had to put the new engine up on 1 inch spacers and grind away some of the steering shaft so it would turn both ways freely. Now obviously the hood does not fit anymore and I had to ad a gas tank above the engine. My wife says I look silly cutting the grass on the serf since I am bigger than the tractor, but it beats walking behind a mower and it gives me something to do.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
