I've had this 1000 for at least 10 years....it's been on my list to fix it up for all that time. I'm retired, so now I have some time and I need it for some yard work around my place. So this will be a fix and use it project.
Implements: what came on it when I bought it, is a homemade dozer blade operated hydraulically by the add-on Bolens Hydro Unit.
I also have a 32" Earthcavator that has this Bolens exact attachment hookup. It looks to me that it was factory made and not a homemade fabrication.
Edit add:
I thought I posted this earlier today.
Since then, I began working on it. I accomplished a little by getting started. It doesn't have the proper carb on it. It's a Tecumseh carb that should have been a Zenith carb. I did a cleaning on it with a full break down and just spray cleaner. It needs an overnight soaking. But I'm not sure if I did get it cleaned if it would operate properly. I got it running by holding the choke nearly closed but it was hunting on the governor. The instant I released it to full open throttle, it died.
Anybody with any idea where I could find a Zenith carb, please pm me.
