There is no rod in the engine. It is gone.

Now I see that it gets it's power from the solenoid instead of the V/R...

Did I ever mention that I am not an electrician.

Digger: I wuz scannin' engine parts listings in TC-157 as I posted. For instance, check out TC-157, Section E, page 5, item 47 'n 48. Besides, do we know if he's dealing with a Kohler, BS, Tecumseh, Onan, Kubota or even if it was an IH model. Go to CCC & later models & there are even more choices (Kawasaki air & water cooled, Linamar, with horizontals & verticals here 'n there, etc, etc. My crystal ball isn't working that good these days....-}>....

Dave D.,
What you have is a Magnum Crank which takes a 3/16 wide woodruff key, the one I have on my bench measures about .850 long, I'll look up what number woodruff that corresponds to, or just measure one at the hardware store. Kenny

 

[kweimann]

That would make it a #607 Woodruff Key.

Dave D.,
Make sure you install the correct locating washer on the crank bolt. This is a precision washer that radially locates the drive cup concentric to the crank when using a Magnum Crankshaft on a Cub. It should have a nice fit to the Drive Cup hole and be pretty snug on the fine thread bolt. Kenny

I've made some head-way on the Original this week-end. Here's some pics.

Okay....I got a "What's wrong with this picture"?

Kenny W.- Thanks for the info, I will head to the hardware store in the morn.

Myron B. - Thanks also, I wish I had more info to give on the crankshaft, I do know that is for a 12hp.

Anybody know if Jim Steele is still around? I've been away for a while and need to get recomemcted to him. Thanks

If you have a warped aluminum cylinder head that you need to use,You can straighten it. You will need a heavy piece of steel a little larger than the head. It should be smooth and at least 3/8 inch thick. Drill matching holes for all the head bolt holes.You will need bolts long enough to bolt the head to the plate. Put the head on the barbacue grill and heat it until you think it will melt. Being very carefull, quickly remove the head and bolt it to the steel plate.
Torque the bolts down and let the whole thing cool down. You should be able to finish leveling the head with a piece of sandpaper on a flat surface.
I have leveled V W bug heads (overhead valves)that were badly warped. ( 1/8 in or more)

Kent, the first thing I see is that that is NOT my shed that is in the picture. Very nice! I am not going to pick at it. Shame you are not hurting for space to keep it.

Kent S...My guess is that it will steer really hard without a tie rod between the front wheels.

You forgot to put the lift handle in when it was easier to get in.


BTW, alot of nice looking project tractors in the works here latly.

The lower starter/gen bracket is upside down.

 

[jrichardson]

Kent, the Original looks VERY nice... Keep up the good work.

 

[kehrecke]

Kent:
Here's my guess - It doesn't have a V-twin, hydraulic lift and 26x12-12 Ags???

Just kidding - nice looking tractor!

Travis,
You win!!!! S.G. bracket.

Kent S.: You forgot to paint the oil cup on the air filter and are missing the instruction decal and the choke decal is missing off the carb.

Nice looking Original. Would you like to repaint TED? I can bring it along to Auburn, IN on the 20th of March. Are you coming to that IH show with any of your Cubs. Look me up if you do.

 

[pdorow]

Kent;

What brand of paint/reducer etc. did you use, sure looks good!

 

[bmcmeen]

Kent S. -

Beautiful!

One little nit and I'll shut up cuz I don't know what level of correctness you were going for.

You might want to get your hair dryer out and peel that <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT> decal off the seat spring - Originals don't have those - that started with the 70/100.
