Hello all, Anybody try a Chinese voltage regulator? I have 3 originals I've cleaned up and rebuilt but I haven't tested them yet. I saw some mixed reviews about the knockoff ones on Amazon for $20, wasn't sure if mine don't pan out, if it would be better to get a name brand unit for $40...

Nothing wrong with that. I had an ST12 growing up, i drug logs out of the woods for firewood. Powered by a huge 4hp B&S.

Yes, the one on it runs, and I have a spare that needs work, and a locked up one for parts. My missing link at the moment is a drive pulley for the transaxle.

Hello all, Picked up a running 1969 Sears Suburban SS12 last fall with a plow, chains, wheel weights, and 2 spare parts engines for $75. Was gonna just make it a dedicated snow plow tractor, but decided to do a frame up restoration on it, and I like poking around forums to gain information and...
