T811 as an FFA project

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   This is my first trip over to the garden tractor part of the forum, so bear with me if these questions have been asked before. My son is doing a full restoration on his T811 garden tractor as an FFA project, and the first question is, where are good original decals available for it. And secondly, the engine runs good, and shouldn't need to be touched, but the starter gear keeps breaking on it. It had a plastic gear on it when he got it, and it lasted quite a while, but two replacements for it have both broken in half the first time starting it. The small engine guy he got the gears from thought maybe putting a steel gear on would be the answer, and maybe so, but I suspect an under-lying problem. Any thoughts? Thanks, Darrel

	Heres the closest I could find, its a T816 Vari shift. I've heard you can call this place and they will custom make pretty much whatever you need. Shouldn't be too hard to change digits if everything else matches. http://www.clickitandstickit.com/allis-chalmers-t-816/ Hope this helps! Edited by littlemarv - 07 Jan 2014 at 6:30pm
