I need to re-power my 552. The only thing I can afford is a 3/4 shaft job. I know I'll have to change pullies, but am I going to run into problems, seeing as the original was a 1 inch shaft?

I bought a great engine of CL for $20 (Briggs 5.5hp). it was on a snowblower, however, and has no throttle or choke control from the driver seat. i got a choke control hooked up, but the throttle control is being finicky. i am mechanically apt, but not familiar with all the different intricacies of different units and I'm assuming the way this type of engine works is interfering with my new linkage I installed? anybody got any tips I can try to get this working properly?

I didn't take the trans apart when I restored my 552. the last time this thing actually worked was about 16 years ago, and the trans worked fine then. whats happening now is, with the engine running I step on the brake but the drive pulley keeps spinning, locking me out from putting it into any gear. anybody know what I'm up against?

Now that I've got the red and black painted, I'm painting the whites and just now getting cold feet while looking at the bas-relief WHEELHORSE lettering across the top of the grill. any tips/pointers as to the best approach to this task? Thanks for all the help you guys bring, I don't think I could have gotten this far without you.

Sorry for all the 'newbie' questions, guys, but no one has told me to take a hike yet so I'll push my luck with another (likely) redundant question; What is the correct drive belt size for my 552, anybody know? And an aside; Does the mower deck operate on the same drive belt, or is that going to be a 'take-off' pulley next to it (I am painting it so I can't align it up to tell ATM). Thanks again.

I am being forced to rebuild my H55 since my Honda engine wouldn't fit without a lot of mods. I'm kinda happy about it too, though, because i'll have the original engine on the restored 552. Now the question; Are there rebuild kits left out there for these engines? I've heard the carbs are obsolete too? Anyone know of replacement carbs? Thanks for looking.

Got some new pics of progress on the 552 (I don't know how to turn them right side up?). I made the steering tie rods out of an old Massey since the original bar had no adjustments at all. everyone seems to like that Techumseh HC55, but I'm trying to find out what's so special about it? can someone send me photos of the wiring schematic for it? the diagram in the manuals I have are very basic drawings, and not specific to this engine. thanks for looking.

I need to find the trans cover (rubber boot for bottom of shifter) to finish my 552 restore project. (Is there a sourcing link for aftermarket components?) Anybody know where I can check? Thanks.
