Hi Koontz , sorry it took so long to reply , thank you for your inquiry . Yes it does have the K482 18 hp. an all the attachments . Blower,tiller an 60 in. deck . I have diagnosed the front main bearing is wasted , I can move the front pto shaft ,w/the fly wheel , about 3/16ths in all directions . runs strong an well bangs an knocks ofcourse . it has sat in a farm barn for over a year . I knew nothing about it . It when I first fired it up , it blew a mouse nest out of the exhalst the size of a large bird nest ! Another problem it has is the charging system , it has the wafer type rectafire . According to the shop manual it should have a push button start switch but theres no place on the tractor for it . some one has install'd a regular tractor ingnition switch in it an it was wasted so I put in a new one an I dont believe it will work coz its a 5 pin 1 for stater 1 for lights 1 for bat. 1 for ground an 1 for M , I figured it for magneto but it cuts off when in starting mode . and when I make contact from the + bat of the rectafire to battery or ampmeter it sparks ,from my knowledge , it shouldnt do that . I dont know how to bench test a rectafire if there is such a way ? Other than that , I hope I can still get parts for it . I found a place north of kokomo call'd Maple Grove distributors , that got me parts for my antique Wisconsin engine , mabey they would have what I need for this ? I live in Huntington In. I also have a 1965 J.D. 110 that I have modified w/a K341 14 hp. an agg. tires filld w/ calcium cloride 80 lbs each . Its just my toy. I also have a 1971 Massy Ferguson MF-7 hydraspeed for my kids its in fair shape . Thank you for reading my novel of tractor talk , if you know of anything to help w/ the bolens , please let me know ... Thanxz Bry :)
