Clinton engines garden cultivators

Thanks Mark

I has 2 large thin wheels in back and a very small wheel in very front. The mower deck is round, It has 2 pullys on top, It is about 1960 I am told, It looks like it may be used to mow up under barb fence or something the way a long skinny bar on front top is shaped can anyone help me. Any info would greatly be appreciated

The Clinton 498 engine is a cast iron, 4.5 horsepower engine with tapered roller crankshaft bearings. It should have an oil bath air filter and a recoil starter. It is a very high-quality engine that ought to last forever, especially with chrome piston rings, which you can probably get from Clinton. Treasure it! Parts and literature should still be available for it from the Clinton Engines Company, Clark and Maple Streets, Maquoketa, Iowa.

I'm not sure what engine you have on your equipment. The Clinton 500 engine is a horizontal shaft 2-cycle engine. That engine is nearly bullet proof. I recommend chrome rings for it, which you can get from Clinton. The B-700 was a 4-cycle one. My literature about it is locked away, so you know more about it from your manual than I would. The Clinton Engines Corporation is still around and able to furnish parts and literature for their engines. They're at Clark and Maple Streets, Maquoketa, Iowa.
