I was able to order a competitor's brand adapter that should fit my compression tester off Newegg.com for about $19 including shipping. I'll see how quick it gets here. https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1B10NY7106 From the pictures on the HarborFreight website it looks like...

I was a little off on where I got a good shot of the Valve cover vent tube, it's actually around the 4:20 mark on the video.

Well I did make a crappy video, https://youtu.be/FL6g9PXOTHs a little long but you can see at the beginning it starts with white smoke but clears up after a couple moments and then near the end I finally got a good angle you can see the exhaust coming out of the tube. A lot of what's in the...

Hi Jk, I'll have to look at my tester to see what adaptors it has, I know I can also purchase more from the manufacturer's website. But if I strike out I may take you up on borrowing your adaptor. Lugbolt, looking at my valve cover vent hose more closely it appears that its a clear fiber...

The engine has almost 1100 hours on it, which doesn't seem like a lot. I'll try to do a compression test on it this weekend.

This question is related to the problem I had posted last week about blowing my main oil seal on my G1900 because of a Mud Dauber building a nest at the end of the hose. Since re-inserting the seal and putting a couple of hours on the tractor I've noticed that I do get significant puffing of...

Also, unless the seal looks really worn I may just put some seal retainer or locktite on the outer diameter and tap it back into place. Now that I'm pretty sure I know what happened I also figure that my original fear of running the engine after this happened with a possible compromised oil...

I was wondering whether or not to call it a "Rear Seal" because of the fact the engine is bass-ackwards on the frame. But that really is what it is.

Can it be done inside the tractor? How hard is it? Will I need special tools? It appears that I may be able to remove the flywheel without removing the engine. I would like to know if anyone has ever done this before on this tractor and engine and what, if any, problems did they encounter...

I had seen this early on, was thinking it was a vent for the trans. I was planning on cleaning it out before I started using the tractor, but forgot. After tracing the hose out from the crankcase breather pipe, turns out this is actually the breather vent for the engine.

CRAAAAPPPP!!!! I figured it out! Freakin' MUD DAUBER!!!!

After finishing all the necessary repairs this afternoon I was all ready to take my new to me G1900 out and put it thru its paces to see how well it works. As I was letting it idle after just putting on a new throttle cable, I heard a "pachewwww"... sound kinda like an old inner tube popping...

Oh, forgot to mention that not only is it a low serial number, it also has fairly low hours, at about 1090 hrs.

Yes, I think my missing component is a regulator. I can see that I can buy one cheap on ebay for about $32. Do I buy it now or try to determine the AC Dynamo is still working or not because there is also the option to buy both. Took a better look at it today (still not moved it home tho') and...

hmm, Looks like I've got a dynamo. Could be it. Would still like to see some pictures of the area under the dash, I don't see how anything would be mounted underneath there and I can't believe things like the fuse block or a regulator would be left to swing free. Thanks!
