I handed down my 2012 to my son 3 years ago. After 30 years out on the farm, the engine finally gave out. He found a 10 hp for it and...

They're awesome tractors, that's for sure. My 728 is a little under the weather right now. I'm waiting on the proper tools now, i.e. dial bore guages, hone, etc. , to do the overhaul right. In the mean time I'm truely thankful for back up!

I'll take the oil pan off the 2012. The governor is non-existant. No response. Don't know if there's teeth off, or it's not even there. Then I'll overhaul the original 12hp! Here's a couple from prior posts 11/2008. This one spring of 1978 with helper Amy, my daughter, who by the way has three daughters of her own.

Actually, a like-new rebuilt deck from my son's father-in-law. you know, that's truely a testment to just how rugged, and reliable these briggs cast iron engines are. Do the math...30 years times 3.5 hrs(2 acres) times once a week times that was clay soil that grew thick grass, with clover mixed in!

      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
