Freshening up the GTHL

Well, waiting on the new rings for the KT17, the rest of the engine was amazingly clean. After discovering the failed breather assembly, and while th engine was out I decided to do a quick hone and put in new rings. Overall, this is a great, clean tractor, and when it's all back together I think it may be a keeper. What I see they are asking for some of the large frames makes me rethink though....

Most of the KT17's seem to wear very little, I haven't seen any so far with significantly worn cylinders, and the cranks wear even less. I thought it looked interesting your breather tube appears to be from a vertical shaft magnum engine, And as you said, that machine is in great condition!

      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
