Yeah I agree John.   The manual for that engine says it has a 20 hour break 
in period.   I doubt
if I'll put 20 hours on it in the next 10 years.

We put one of those HF engines on a wood splitter for a guy a few years
back, seems to work OK. He's got another one on an air compressor. I've had
to order parts for them and it wasn’t' a big deal. I wouldn't want one in
anything I was going to run all the time but for occasional use equipment I
think you will be fine. They are also popular with go-kart racers.

We got the field corn planted yesterday. Lot's of guys here running late
into the night working on tobacco land. We've got to quickly get ready to
cut hay as it is starting to get pretty big.

Hadn't planned on planting much garden, I may work on it this afternoon if
it doesn't go to raining.

John

I've been really busy as well John.   I have some time next week but have to
get going on  my garden.  I'm way behind.   The engine on my garden tiller
has some problems, mostly just TLC sort of things but when I added up the
cost of the parts I made a judgment call,  headed of to Harbor Freight and
bought one of their Chinese knock off,
Honda style engines.  I don't like buying
the Chinese stuff but this is a 212 cc, OHV, Cast Iron sleeve engine that
makes about 7 1/2 hp.  List price is $179.xx it was on sale for $119.99 and
yesterday morning the flyer came in the mail with a 25% off coupon so I
walked out the door with it for $96 and some change tax included.  It's got
a 90 day warranty, it will bolt on in place of my B&S
and use the same pulley.  Given the time restraints in getting my garden
going I didn't figure I could loose much if it runs at all.

On top of all that, I need to do some work to the lift arms on my D-14 so I
can't use my bush hog or disc harrow until that is done plus I need a new
battery for it.  It never ends!

Charlie

PS if anyone is interested in that engine the $119.00 sale price expires on
the 30th so you have until Tuesday.
The coupon was in this weeks Harbor Freight flyer for the 25% off.

Still here. My guess is the weather warmed up and dried off so everybody's
been using their old tractors instead of just talking about them, at least
that has been the case here this past week.  I'd like to get in some garden
this week, but the weather forecast isn't very promising.
