Sears GT/19.9 7 month cold start

This one’s for the Sears Suburban guys. I fire up my 1978 Sears GT/19.9 for the first time in 7 months. With the addition of a cheap Chinese electric in-line fuel pump and all new fuel lines, it starts like a dream. There’s a few things that need doing on this tractor before it’s tip-top, but that’s the fun part of working with machinery.

You did a great job waxing it I just got myself a 1976 ss18. And I love mowing with it.

Great-sounding Onan!

I love how they are yellow and white in Canada. Sounds great. Good to hear from you. I'm still not a fan of electric pumps, but if it works for you... pretty sure I said diagonal cutters or pliers to squeeze the cable, not tweezers :) Unless you're HULK

crankysports Based on yours and others experience I was reluctant to do it, but I’m glad it worked out. It’s a lot easier to start that way! LOL yes I was thinking of pliers

Nice Running Onan! Need to find myself a 19.9 one day

Interesting you mention 10w40 for the onan, I've always ran 10w30. Maybe I should be doing an oil change on my 19.9 and ss16 sooner than later... Awesome Sears Rory!

71_Sears Thanks! I actually meant to say 15w-40. It’s what most people run in these old oil burners.

lobsterbox20 well I guess my two Onans aren't burning a lick of oil so the 10w30 seems to be fine. I will definitely keep a slightly thicker oil in mind if I start hearing any clattering noise.

Hi, do you know the dimensions on the engine to mower deck belt? I have one of these, slightly later, and the belt was missing when I got it. I think it's 5/8" X 100" but I can't confirm it. Even if you could get me a number off the belt that would be helpful.

Are you going to do another vid on the Honda 4518...? How is it getting parts for it?

@lobsterbox20 5 жыл бұрын

scott moore I sold the 4518 last summer, so no more videos on it unfortunately. Parts were fantastically easy to find though. I bought a service manual off eBay from Honda’s official store. I went to my Honda dealer with a list of parts related to the timing system, all of which they had NOS at reasonable prices. There is excellent parts support for their tractors, rivalled only by Ariens/Gravely and Simplicity.
