Old roller

Dartman_hd · Mar 9, 2021

Hello everybody. Just picked up an old roller. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about it? Has an old kohler engine which needs a little(or lot) of love. The only thing it is missing is the system that drive the vibrating rollers on top of the drum. I found a picture on the internet and circled the part I am missing. The pics not makes up are mine. I doubt if I can find the part but I was looking for maybe a better picture to try to fab something up. Any info would be great. Thanks much. -Paul

Not always, but in most cases new users have to have 5 or more posts on record before the site lets them post pictures, due to site spam filters. Another option is to go down to the Site Comments Forum and ask YT Support for permission to post prior to that. You can try going down to the Test Forum and making several posts there to get your post count up, trying to attach your pictures to each post. That may work after you make several posts. Then make your post here again. It may not work immediately after you get past the 5 posts, if not, you might try logging out and back in at that point. There is a size limit as well, I think it is a total of 7.5mb per post (be it one picture or the total of several). Some pictures (often taken with phones), are too large and have to be reduced before they will post.

No. A little different then that one. The one by the swing set is mine. The one with the red circle is what I need. I think its some kind of hand clutching a shaft with a small chive pulley to drive the small rollers

The long rollers on top of the drum are on my machine. I need what drives them. Any help or idea to fab something up would help. Im thinking theres not a lot of parts for them.

What info is on the tag at the left end of the "dash" in your picture, maybe a model, name, manufacturer, etc.?

Ive never heard of General Engines. Could find anything on the internet. I was thinking they made it and was sold by another company. The closest one I found was an eager beaver one. I thought they made trailers. Who knew...?
