Hey, yeah, I love my little 702. And theres nothing like the sound of a Starter/Generator starting an old Kohler.

The ol nut roasters are cool, but I like something a little heavier...lol

I used the 702 to pull the C around the yard and up the street to test the clutch and oil pump. My dad was on the C, clutch in, in 4th gear. Im on the 702, 2nd gear, revved to the max, with a heavy loggign chain connecting us.

I tightened the chain and let the clutch out, the Kohler bogged for a second then the original Bar lugs gripped hard and pulled the Big C out, got er rolling then had my dad let out the clutch.

Picture this.

702, as small as it is, going down the road, which is at a slight angle, going up that angle, tires slipping ever so slightly, 1 front tire is up in the air because the frame is torqueing down so hard. I quickly shift to 3rd...holy crap...we gone!!! Im cruising, engine isnt even trying anymore, clutch grabbed fine, and had decent oil pressure. Then he decides to try 3rd gear. So he pushes in the clutch, and goes into 3rd, and drops the clutch....wayyyy too much for the 702! On asphault, its moving at maybe 1/2 mile per hour..spinning the tires...lol...im still in 3rd...lol!!!

I love the little horse, but Icant wait to get the C running!

PS are you goign to the WH show in Ardentensville Pa. this year?
