I need to watch this whole series, I have two of these L models, they had been running before I bought them. I've got two more modern 5000 series Walk behinds; one I fixed up and it works great, the other needs a governor adjustment as it runs flat out. My general sense is the L's are heavier duty than later ones, plus they have oil filters and sediment bowls.

cant wait for part two i wanna see this thing running soon

I have my battery tray and hood and other stuff for the L8 but I want to mount the breather down like you have here,is that mounted on the top center trans to engine bolt?

[@rw3dog]

green&yella fella there is a hole where n the transmission casting for it. Do you mean air cleaner not breather ? Newer machines have the air filter on the side by the carb....

[@greenyellafella3777]

rw3dog the '66 l8,it's mounted on the left handle bar and I haven't seen any others mounted that way they're always mounted like you have here it's in harm's way out there on the bar, she's gonna be a working girl.

Easy peasy. The fan though is gonna suck to fix. Both the navy L and postal gave me fan grief
