Chore master

Joneil · Jul 17, 2019

I bought a pair of chore master garden tractors at an auction a long time ago. Can't remember if I paid $5 each or for the pair. Last year I put a predator engine on one. I used it in the garden once. Then it rained so much that it was too muddy to work in the garden. I've used it a bunch this year and it's the cleanest garden I've ever had.

The two closest rows of corn is popcorn planted with the 3d printed planter plates I made.

Garden looks great. Lets have a look at those garden tractors.

That's what I was thinking. They should have been in the pictures.

I still have a couple of Choremaster model Bs in my barn. Is this what you have?

Heres a picture of the one I'm using in last years garden. Because of the weather the weeds got so bad that I mowed off everything but the corn. Both tractors have/had clinton engines. I put an oil mix in the cylinders to soak for a few weeks. Neither had compression or spark so I got a predator. Now that I know how handy it is I need to get a new tire and tube for it. And paint while its torn apart.

Maybe it doesn't need a new tire. Looks like it has plenty of traction on the side of the cliff.

Choremaster stuff.

I tried to post some images but for some reason, the YT software is blowing them up too large to look at.

Thats it. I have the 2 at home and another at my parents. That one doesn't have an engine but does have a different style cultivator I want to try. I got it out of the trash when I was a teenager.

I have a Choremaster with a Clinton on it. Have never done any thing with it. Was the Predator a direct bolt on or did you have to fabricate a motor mount?

Joneil · Jul 17, 2019

Direct bolt on. I bought a new pulley
too. I can't remember if i couldn't get
the old one off or it was a different size
shaft. Predator starts first pull every
time. I run it a little faster than idle
and a tank of gas lasts about a month.

Brown Dirt Cowboy · Jul 17, 2019

when you say pulley are you actually referring to the centrifical clutch?

Joneil · Jul 17, 2019

Mine don't have clutches. I think they were optional.

(quoted from post at 13:40:45 07/17/19) Mine don't have clutches. I think they were optional.

will have to look at mine, I thought it had a clutch. Is that the 3hp motor? I'm going to have to find my owner's manual also.

Neat little outfit! It would get in places where a bigger machine couldn't.

When I was a kid we had one. There was a set of shovels for the rear to cultivate the garden, and an adapter to attach a reel mower to the front. I mowed 2 yards, ours and Grandma's with it, and cultivated 2 gardens also. I don't remember what happened to it-it was sold I think. But-that Clinton was 1hp, and hard to start. You wound a rope around the crank and pulled. I was only about 8 yrs old, and got mad when it died and would not restart, so in my frustration, I beat on it with that rope with it's wooden handle, and broke the spark plug. I was scared because I broke the plug , but I went and got Dad any way and let him try to start it, not mentioning the broken spark plug. When he noticed, 'how did this happen!!??' I had to tell him. But, knowing how ornery that engine was, he did not say too much! Mark.
