1982 Craftsman LTV/10 lawn tractor with no compression
I couldn’t remember what was wrong with this Craftsman LTV/10 lawn tractor, so I figured I would see if I could get it to start, but quickly found out it’s 10HP Briggs & Stratton engine had no compression. Just listen to it! I don’t need a gauge to tell me it has no compression when it sounds like that! It was about then I remembered where it came from. We bought it for at a swap meet a few years ago, drove it about 150 feet, and it abrubtly died. The motor is fixed now, it ended up being a burnt valve.
Noma All-Wheel-Steer Lawn Tractor, 18HP Kohler V-Twin
This is the first drive of a Murray or MTD built Noma Performance All-Wheel-Steer tractor with an 18HP V-Twin Kohler Command engine. We bought it for 0 last Sunday, and had just unloaded it from the truck to take a look at it. It appears to have been sitting a long time, but fortunately someone ran the gas out of it, so the carb wasn’t damaged. The engine runs super smooth and quiet too. It’s a shame the tractor itself is such a mess; the choke knob is broken off, there’s no brakes, reverse doesn’t work, and the steering gear is messed up which is why I had to keep getting off and fixing it. The scraping sound is the belt on the deck, which is also messed up. I’m kicking myself because just a few weeks ago someone nearby had 2 Scotts branded parts tractors up for sale on eBay, and they were identical to this Noma.
