Firstly, thanks for the warm welcome and good advice!
I should have stated that my 841 has a gas engine. My concern about the oil bath air filter was that the suggested service interval is daily and I surely don't have time for that! Weekly or monthly depending on hours of use I can handle. I plan to work this old boy hard, but I don t want to abuse it too much if it can be avioded. If I'm understanding the posts above correctly, I should be fine brush hogging @ 1500-2000 RPM. It looks like there is plain water in the radiator. I think that it would be better to run a mix with better cooling properties and a higher boiling point. I understand that around 180- 210 is optimal, leaning towards the lower end. I've been cutting some pretty heavy brush and it did seem to have an easier time in 1st gear around 2000RPM. The blades are quite dull and rounded. I'm heading out to the shop to sharpen them now. I'll not turn them in to machetes, just restore them to a decent angle with some bite.
