January 16th, 09 below is the new pics of roy's progress on the 112.Also the email he sent me.Looking really good roy!!.
Well buddy. I got myself hooked on doing another tractor. Picked this up for 180 bucks. 1971- 112 with a 10 hp Kohler
engine. Runs real good. It needed the front end fixed bad. Seat pan was also dented up and full of holes. Whole tractor painted
with a brush.
I picked up another seat pan that's super. I repaired the hood. First time fiber glassing for me. Turned
out good.
Tiller is all done ,and a few of the parts for the tractor. The rest is down back and I'll have to finish
that in spring. I might go down and pull the front axle off and do that. I have new tires for the front, and have to get them
on anyway. The 2 on the tractor don't hold air long.
Will my obsession ever end.................
Roy

Roy Wrote: 2nd
Good news , bad news day. Started the day with the fuel pump
leaking. Took off the pump and found that the screws were very loose. Then I thought ,well I could just tighten them, and
the problem would be fixed. Then I thought maybe its dirty too, so I might as well clean it out, as long as it was off. Took
it apart and it wasn't bad. I thought maybe I would use a touch of silicone sealer on the gasket so it wouldn't leak again.
Did that, and got it back in. Started it up and it ran good. Let it run a while and no leaks, so I proceeded to finish the
tractor.
Got the tractor all done and took it out for a test drive. A couple of minutes into the test drive and it
quits. Couldn't get it going again. I think maybe a piece of the silicone got into the pump valves and stopped it cold.
So,
I going to order a carb kit, and either get a pump or clean this one out again.
Other than that it couldn't have gone together
any better. Minor set back I guess. I'll save it for a rainy day. I have to get back on my bedroom project tomorrow.
Roy's last email and final pic's.

Got the 112 all done today. Tiller is on and everything works great.
I
had to make a custom air cleaner. The grill I'm using wouldn't allow me to use the original. Its a early grill and it has
bigger supports on the inside. Rather than buying another grill and hood supports I just did the modification.
On
to the next one................ya right.
