Pics of the 'new' G11


The tin is a bit rougher than the 1st one as is the seat.
Looks like a PO replaced the PTO with an earlier model's PTO, since it doesn't have the brake.
Engine DOES NOT smoke, and does have a bit of a 'bark' with that straight pipe. However, I did get the original muffler with it. The seller had removed it and was using it on a generator.
That spring on the clutch/brake isn't original, but it sure does help take out all of the slop in that linkage. I think I just may do that with the other G11 and the G10.

HIt the 10 pic limit, so I'll do the last 2 in the next post

Yes that is a good point.
I am sure there are still loads of NOS parts and attachments stuffed away in some old barns and warehouses that haven't been touched in years. They made Hundreds/ Thousands of each model so they are definitely out there somewhere, But like you said the problem is finding them.

How much did that set you back? Did you get the price down a bit from what he was asking? I saw the post you referenced, but I thought it was a bit pricey for what it was in the condition it is in and without any attachments. Just hope you got it for a good deal!

i had though that there was a h16 or g14 (one of the 2 cant remember now ) that has similar decals as the g11

Congrats! Always nice to have a pair, especially if they are a bit on the rare side. Enjoy!
