Old customer of dads came in and said she had an old allis lawn tractor in back shed. Do you want it. Dad knew what it was so he said sure. She said her late husband said that my dad always wanted that tractor so when it comes down to the day go let my dad know. It had a woodchuck mound of dirt up over mower deck to running boards, and missing starter and some other motor parts. Ill have to get you guys some pictures. Thought I'd share story with you guys. |

the onan is a good engine but expensive and there are so many options that it will drive you mad. honda's are a good swap, i've heard great reviews about this kit for a briggs http://www.smallenginewarehouse.com/Repower-Old-Equipment/Allis-Chalmers-620-Category/ |

Onan? A 920 would have had the Lombardini diesel. Even as parts, that's a valuable engine, but it is costly to repair. ------------- Patterson B1*B1/B1Forklift*B10*BigTen/B1Loader*B110*B208*B206*616*Homelite T16H/T8/T7/RM7E*Landlord/Loader/Trencher*Broadmoor717*Serf525*2110*7790*Legacy XL*Twin 20*Squire9*Squire6*JCPenny 494 |
