I think a marine grade switch is a good idea and moreso if the tractor stays outside out of a covered roof.
If you have a good starter ,atl. rebuilding service near you it might be best to let them see if it is something they can fix,or identify.
does your gearbox dipstick have 2 fill marks on it? if so the lower mark is full with no loader,the upper mark is full with a loader.
I am sure all what you say is true but there is no harmonic balancer the flywheel has not been trued I do not believe as I see no drill holes that they balanced it to.it idles at 400 rpm and is max governed to 2000 rpm.If I have to back in it I will replace the flywheel.But the owner being 83 I do not think I will have to worry about it.He runs it at a fast idle when he is in a hurry.I also talked to the carquest machine shop guy the other day and he said that is common with those flywheels not to hold the ring gear and they weld them up.
no vibes at any speed it runs so much better now that the engine has compression.The tractor mech on the other side of town says he has done it before with no issues he says it aint no race engine.
yes and each engine type and manf. has it own set specs.we will need to know what engine you have.
well good or bad I stiched it every 4 inches around the flywheel with a mig .welded about 3/8 inch circle in each spot with fairly good penetration .the welding was done on the engine side of the flywheel so no clutch face maring was done. ,I was concerned also about to much heat in one spot to quickly since the 2 steels are so different. but it seems to be working well for now.If there is any further issues with it a new flywheel and gear will be next. yes the ring gear was directional but placed correctly. and a new starter was installed. cause I do not want to do this again any time soon.
well I did not have a rosebud so I took it to town, I had a machine shop heat it and place it on the flywheel.it seemed to tighten in place. put it together turned it over and the ring gear spun.had to break the tractor apart and weld the ring gear in place,is this somewhat common?
