I can't find a parts list for the H60-75009 in my 653, and I'm trying to sort out the throttle governor linkages. Does anyone have a parts list? And would anyone have pics of their original setup of linkages, throttle and choke cables, etc? TIA. The service manual shows mine as Horizontal Medium Frame.

Update on this. About a month ago, I got down to the KY property to work on the tractor. I tried chasing the threads with a die, but it is a round die and I don't have a handle for it. Channel lock pliers wouldn't get a good enough grip to turn the die and keep it straight. A thread file needed to have the wheel, brake, and hub pulled to get enough clearance to run the file. I ended up using the two piece repair nut. It threaded onto the damaged axle threads and pulled up to somewhere near the 400 lb ft torque requirement - or whatever me bouncing a few times on the end of a 4' cheater bar made. I've put several hours of box blade and grader blade time on it since. So far, so good. I still am considering this to be a temporary repair. A new axle is on the repair list now.

I've never used one, but I have seen induction heaters used in production production processes. The induction heaters are capable of heating things to a bright orange - hot enough to mess up any heat treatment the heated piece has. Chances are a heat induction bolt remover won't get quite that hot. It probably has an adjustment for the heat level.

I was born in Butler and grew up near there. My dad took me to a couple car shows with Austin and Bantam on display back in the early '70s and I remember the small chassis and 4-wheel steering Jeep models that were made there. Lots of engineering in that part of PA back then, Pullman Standard being another. Cool stuff and a nice find @Mike'sHorseBarn !

Minor update and a couple of questions. I am back to babysitting my grandchild most of the day and so haven't had much time to spend with the horse. I have the carb back together and the mounting flange was a little warped so I used some sand paper on a piece of glass and fixed that. Changed the oil and have 5W 30 in there for testing. After draining the oil I noticed some dark material in the bottom of the plastic oil pan. It did not feel like metal but more like some of the dirt/dust that collects on the frame around the engine so maybe some fell in. I will pay much more attention when I dump out the test oil. Before I put the carb back on, I plan to adjust the valves. That seems simple enough I believe. When putting the carb back on, I read and watched a video about which gasket or gaskets to use but they really didn't go into much detail as to why. I have the single thin gasket to go between the carb and block. I also have a set that is two thin gaskets and one 1/4" spacer. That set is actually part of the set I posted a pick of earlier. I read that using the thicker spacer helps itemize the fuel and keep the carb flange from warping. The video said either would be fine. What are you guys thoughts? I know this is getting way ahead for now but tossing around some thoughts, Balance Gears? I have been reading and learning about them, pros and cons. Its my understanding that my K341S should certainly have them. Kohler Model: K341s Spec. No. 71371 Serial No. 15060263 I bought some deep discounted spare parts from the store up the road that was closing. In those was 1- new style balance gear with bearing installed. 2- balance shafts and, 2- balance gear needle bearings. So except for one gear and possible shim kit, I have everything to replace them back to factory spec if that choice was made. I Save Tractors shows installing them and I watched a JD video of a guy replacing his after finding out his were about to explode on him. I have probably already read a couple of you guys opninions on this subject but since I basically have the parts, ? Thanks Charrie

1966 unidrive transmission wear question
FLtractor replied to FLtractor's topic in Transmissions and transaxles
Thanks Eric -
here's a new angle on removing mower deck pulleys from spindles that have been "rust welded frozen" on the spindle shaft. i have participated in numerous threads on this topic and am back in situation again -- using penetrant, map gas etc -- the two crow bars - hub puller etc. no luck !!!!!! It was suggested to me I need to get pulley collar hotter - and was suggested to use " Heat Induction Bolt Remover" -- or also maybe called "Induction heater" --- Has anyone used this tool to heat and remove the deck pulleys? I watched one video and the guy said when removing a nut the heat process will destroy the nut. Does that suggest the collar on top of pulley on the spindle shaft would be deformed ? I don't want to have to get new pulleys but if that's necessary then I guess that's the cost of removing the pulley ? any insights from anyone using this Heat Induction tool method? thanks

This mower has probably 25 years of mostly sitting . It was a three hundred dollar mower even back then. I got it for a family member who had a husband who had a quad bypass so the wife could make the yard. It came back to me when her health declined as well Now my wife has been bugging me for a mower that she can just start and run so with the electric start feature this one will be it. The tank was empty and the air filter foam on the outside was nasty so I gave her a squirt of penetrating oil in the spark plug hole and also the carb and pulled it a few times. It has the patented carb bowl with no room to get a wrench underneath. Maybe an offset wrench would work but who knows. Anyway after thinking about grinding a socket for the bowl nut, I replaced the rotten fuel line . She fired on carb cleaner and caught on the first pull. I have to replace the final drive parts at the wheels if I can figure it out, but at least it will start and run . Maybe YouTube will show me the way on the drive repair . She's a beauty but pretty heavy to push around . .

What did you do today?
Sparky-(Admin) replied to Mickwhitt's topic in non tractor related discussion
Used up the last of my ethanol free fuel topping off my B-80, C-81 (big tank!), the 857 and both of my 867’s. Just me pouring gas…no pics ! This means I’ll be making a fuel run real soon. -
I've seen generator distributor combinations like that before somewhere. Does anyone recognize it?

Evening, Wondering for 856 unidrive transmission.. if it is driven in 1st gear forever.. mainly used to tow… and reverse as needed.. will that cause unnecessary wear on gear.. or no.. not how that works.. as long as proper gear oil lubricant.. no water in gearbox and no unnecessary grinding and waiting for complete stop before shifting gears?
