    How do I prevent the 12v starting from getting stuck in

    I don't have that here but, I'll try that in the future... The fly wheel was in good condition when I put her back together, no nicks or missing teeth... in 2019

    How do I prevent the 12v starting from getting stuck in

    I watched some videos on how to get it reset, no help, got it half way on the bendix but no farther, I'll try the wire brush in the morning, I FEEL like this should not be possible when the starter is installed in the tractor. like I missed something when I rebuilt the engine in 2019, like a...

    How do I prevent the 12v starting from getting stuck in

    How do I prevent the 12v starter from getting stuck in the engaged position, this one has been in service, new (denso I think) since last year. The previous starter did the same. I'll post a pic as soon as I figure out how to

    Timing rebuilt engine with electronic ignition...

    So I have #1 TDC with the numbers one the flywheel in the view port. But before I rebuilt the engine I put electronic ignition in it (probably unnecessary since what it really needed was a new block to keep the plugs from getting fouled with antifreeze). It ran well with the electronic...

    Torque required to turn over new engine...

    Thanks for the feedback, new starter in and turned over fine. I either dead shorted it putting it back together or it was ready to give up the ghost, either way its got a new starter. Already rebuilt the generator.

    Torque required to turn over new engine...

    Maybe, the part that melted and re-soildifed was the copper bar btwn the two windings on the outside case field coils. The insulation on the field coils was toast. I don't know, I would have stored the starter with a nut on the long bolt had I'd known. Mechanically inclined but...

    Torque required to turn over new engine...

    I can't move the motor with the fan blade, I tightened the generator pulley with a crowbar and cranked down on all the nuts. But the fan pulley slips. But she rolls over with 80ft/lbs on the crank bolt WITH the old plugs in. I was using them to keep dirt and paint out. Checked the gap on...

    Torque required to turn over new engine...

    So I rebuilt my 51 8N engine, new sleeves, reground crank and everything. As I installed each piston I made sure to turn over the engine by hand. With all 4 pistons installed it took 40ft/lbs to crank which isn't bad. But with the new rope seals in and the oil pan installed it took...

    Wife picked up my crankshaft but no written specs...

    Called and called and called and finally they got back to us while I was sleeping. They said they did .010s. Tag attached to the crank fell off some where btwn there and home. Unboxed and unbagged. The machine shop that did the block wasn't enthusiastic about the crank shop but its the only...

    Wife picked up my crankshaft but no written specs...

    So I measured out my crankshaft (with calipers) and determined that it was out of round and taper. I figured that I would have to go the next size down and would need .010 bearings. So off to the only place that does grinding around here. The wife picked it up yesterday and they had a tag...

    Got the block back, crank 2-morrow, more Questions...

    So I have two cam shafts. The one out of my broken block and then one that came with my NTM (new to me) block. The one out of my broken block is in better shape at the gears and by looks on the bearing surfaces. No measurements yet. Question #1 - Should I use the one that came with the NTM...
