I see a demonstration video on you tube, he would be a help if you could track him down.
Google sisis hydromain.

yes its a kohler 14hp 321 engine, ive fitted a new battery, airfilter, fuel filters & plug.

it now starts easy and ticks over quite nicely.

unfortunately sisis are unable to help , they now only keep records for newer machinery., ive made contact with a former employee who may be a help. I cannot find a user manual online or anywhere as yet.

I’d like to know a little more on the hydraulics as they are working slow, oil type and quantity & levels etc.

All engine parts are available which is good news.

Ive had it a good couple of weeks now and have been cleaning & un-seizing parts ever since.

will try and get a few more pics uploaded.

Interesting versatile machine, looks like a kohler magnum engine.

My bet is the valves need regrinding particularly the exhaust one.

Unusual looking beast, good luck with the restoration.

Not sure yet John, need to get the mower going and try it out first and see what is what…

paul an interesting accessory,do you need a v pulley to fit onto drive shaft to give it motion ??

[vhgmcbuddy]

what a nice reminder of old times clive,sounds like you struck a friendship with the guy and he left you his mower which you are now the proud owner ,and well deserved I am sure.

[vhgmcbuddy]

The way you’ve got is how mine is.

in reply to my queery about props, yes they did and the number of the boat U……. was stamped on it,so that’s how you would ID it if you where a diver for a salvage company,providing it was still fitted.
