Welcome,

And congrats on the "new" machine...I'm quite hopeful about this Robbin, since I've had the "opportunity" to look under the skin...though there is no history on this motor like the K., It is much easier to work on than the Vanguard twin in my C.C...If one keeps the oil and air clean it should provide good service.
Good Luck!

Congratulations on your new tractor. I'm eagerly awaiting the time when I can make the same purchase. Possibly this coming fall or winter…..my wife seems to like our current tractor too much.

If it makes you feel any better Onan uses these Robin manufactured engines in their generators/welders now and also offers the engine for sale but with Onan stickers on it. Onan claims to have co-developed the engine with Robin on their website. So, in a pinch many small engine shops should be able to get you parts either though an Onan source Robin directly.
