Is the center attachment lift arm on the 1967 Lawn Ranger the same as the one on a 704?

Hello Members, I have been working on getting my KT17 series 2 running again but ran into the following issue. I went to replace the points and condenser prior to placing the engine back onto the frame and found that while the points begin to open at the S mark and fully at the T mark they also reopen further before the flywheel completes one revolution. I am worried about cam failure or possible pushrod degradation and was wondering if anyone knows the proper length of the pushrod and minimum length for it to work. I don't want to pull the motor apart to replace the cam and might have to go possibly electronic if the pushrod length is acceptable. Any suggestions would be appreciated . Regards, Bob

Killing time to go to the last tractor show so finished up a Onan I got from @Blasterdad at Pullstart's plow day. Should have left the heat shield off 'till after retorque heads run. I have high hopes for this being a decent shelf motor for the 520s. Hope you like the color changes. Just something different. -
I may have to second that.

When we moved a few years ago & significantly downsized. Had a 4 bedroom 3700sq/ft ranch w/full basement. Now in a 1000sq/ft ranch on a slab- no regrets! I promised her since we really dont have room for her hobbies/crafts etc that I'd have a she shed built. Great decision. Ran electric & is insulated w/heat so she can use it all year.

Same here, With just a hint of black smoke when I throttle up real quick.

I would take the money I was going spend on that Tecky and build me a mule drive mount and use one of the horses to drive that genny, but I aint no Tecky fan, got one on a 551 and that's enough for me . They are the only small engines that Ive ever blown up, both on old tillers, coincidence maybe? Hope I didn't just jinx my Kohlers .

Got it. Thanks 953!

My 1963 Buick had that, nothing new there. A few days ago I was approaching an intersection on a four lane divided highway (55 MPH) where the cross traffic had a stop sign. A pick-up truck stopped at the sign then pulled out to cross the highway just about a couple hundred feet ahead of me. I managed to avoid a collision by crossing into the oncoming lane's left turn lane which had no traffic at the time and then going into the median. All of the collision avoidance systems in the world can't make up for a driver paying attention. Oh, by the way, the other drier didn't stop to say thanks for not killing me!

@Bill D those pto bearings are cake , outer sealed bearing is available at NAPA , inner needle bearing , hangs up due to engine heat lubrication failure , carefully clean out , like carb cleaner , then , LUCAS EXTRA HD CREEN CHASSIS GREASE , WHY ? 550 deg flash point , also polyurea rated , anti sling , VERY SPARINGLY , excess slings to clutch face , this is the KEY TO SMOOTH LEVER ENGAGEMENT . my 3 horses have this in use for years , never burned out a clutch disc , does any of this make sense to you ? TRY , ENGAGE , TRY ? does it work ? is it better ? is it worse ? thats how I ELIMINATE REPEDITIVE PROBLEMS . ironically , if you paint related areas / red / black , they literally disappear .just TRY SOMETHING ! inspire / encourage yourself , that changes how you look at problems , BTW there is a simple spring pull on the PTO swing lever , down to related , frame HITCH PIN CLIP , STOPS LINKAGE BUZZING ! my picture problem also needs elimination , pete -

Rebuild the old one has been decided. I watch a couple videos last night and it's just as easy as a Carter or Walbro. The best one was done by a guy who starts out with something about one handed and I assumed he meant he had to hold the camera in one hand and work with the other. Nope. He was missing his left hand from below the elbow. It didn't slow him down a bit and his video was great. I thought I found another piece of the valve stem when I discovered the throttle plate was jammed up. Turned out to be a phillips bit. No harm done. I've never been accused of being the sharpest spoon in the drawer but I'm thinking this needs a bit of cleaning.

Of course the "internet" is never wrong. The only PITA with a single stage snowblower is the stupid attachment of the lift tube at the rear. Some attachments are difficult and some are easy, the no tools required sticker is misleading.

Take a look at page 6 of this manual.

Getting ready to mount tires. I did this yesterday but the internet went down due to heavy rain so I could not post pics. Rears are Carlisle turfmasters that I got a great deal on last winter (I don't remember who from). This is the tool I use for all of my Lawn and garden tractor tire mounting and demounting. Rear wheel mounted on tool. New TR413 valve stem ready to be installed. Tool used to pull valve stem into position after giving it a light lube with dish soap. Valve stem installed. Tire bead and outer edge of wheel was lubed with dish soap then the tire was pushed on. These tires seem just slightly small so it is quite a push to get it on. Next step is to put a couple of clamps on the tire to reduce it's width so it is held down into the smaller diameter portion of the wheel for the tire installation to go easier. The tire bead, top edge of the wheel, and the tire installation tool are lubed with dish soap and the tire is popped into place. Tires aired up to 20 PSI to fully seat onto the beads Tires sprayed with Snoop to check for leaks. None found. Front wheel sat on tool. Front wheel clamped into place then the tire was lubed and popped into place. Again, harder than it sounds but it went on. Tube installed and the valve stem tool is screwed on so I don't accidentally knock it down installing the tire. Front tire installed using the same technique as for the rear with the clamps and lube (I know that sounds bad). All four assemblies taken outside and washed to clean up the tires and get rid of any dish soap.
