WANTED Onan CCKB parts

There is plenty of them out there. Now that I'm in to these tractors, I see them everywhere. It's just that they're still in service, or the owner "is gonna get it going someday", etc.. I appreciate you hunting around for me!

If I had a FB account, I'd go get this one for the price and cannibalize it: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1392535144934441/?ref=search&referral_code=null&referral_story_type=post

Awesome! Thank you!

Codger wrote: I need to follow up on this as have forgotten.

I'd appreciate the assistance for sure. I haven't had any luck finding anything reasonably priced that's anywhere near where I live. I'd like to find something in central Illinois or Indiana.

I know they're out there. I've been searching through piles of engines at a shop in Lerna IL that the owner passed away and his family is going through decades of collecting/repairing. So far they only had an Onan BG series from something like a JD tractor.

Still looking...

Nothing back on the CCKB parts as of yet.

I'm not on Facebook. I deleted my account several years ago.

I was just over at Sigel looking at that sweet Allis 8050 and taking pictures to show to my father. Small world indeed. You probably met my friend Jake that works for TGM. Another Allis garden tractor fan/collector.

Codger wrote: Yup. Get over to Sigel swapping implements too fairly often. Have uncle just south on 40, and another on 45.

Small world huh.. TGM?

Codger wrote: Know the area well as have family around the area. I haul grain in the fall around Bethany, Shelbyville, Effingham, and over by Newton for family. I haul equipment all over the state for the implement dealer too.

I'm about a half hour east of Effingham.

Thank you for calling them! I'm mainly after the added HP. I'll probably switch to the Kohler carb as well.

Codger wrote: I've not been around many Onan CCK series engines myself but see via internet research some of the benefits of going to the CCKB series over the CCKA series. That side draft carb setup has to be more reliable than the downdraft of the earlier variants as they seem to require fiddling with if not used often. Today's gasolines are not kind to them. I purposely starve mine out so none of this crap remains in the carburetor bowl. I did call and left a message to ascertain if any parts are still around.

I have a running CCKA that smokes terribly that I'm wanting to convert to a CCKB when I transfer all of the parts over to one of the NOS shortblocks that I have.

I don't really have a dollar threshold that I was trying to stay within, but I know when something is overpriced. CCKB's were built by the hundreds of thousands and many are sitting around. It's just a matter of finding the right deal on one.

For the prices many are asking for parts, I could buy another non-running 620 or 720 like I did with mine. I picked up all three of my tractors for $500 each or less.

Codger wrote: Am I understanding that you have a running CCKA and want to convert to a CCKB by adding the correct external parts only? I think I know a guy that has one but before I bother him more information is needed. You can PM me a dollar threshold you are looking at staying within but you are chasing something that is getting a bit difficult to source so the pricing will be according to supply/demand.

Nothing found yet.
