    "I save tractors" guy has a kit with rods so cheap you should just rebuild it. Those Kohlers last for ever with oil changes. You could always just re-ring it and valve lap.

    Love the way those Kohler opposed engines sound while under a heavy load. John Deere 317 we have is in much better shape. Hate to see that Kt17 burning oil. Are you going to rebuild it?

      Those release the drive inside the hydro so you can slowly push or pull the tractor. It sort of puts the transmission in "neutral". The big black knob on top is what you use to dial it down to allow push/pull. Under normal operation you will not use it.

    Howdy Mike! I started up my 314 this morning and belched out a bunch of white smoke upon startup what is this a sign of? ( also smelled like burnt oil. ) I’m assuming it’s f’ed.

    • @mikestarcher
      @mikestarcher  10 місяців тому

      White smoke is probably just cold and worn out and clapped. If it was burning oil it should be blue smoke

      It has a slight tick I think it’s knocking but I don’t know. and it when you raised the throttle it would hesitate.@@mikestarcher

      I might have to get a rebuild kit, but they are expensive.
