Desko 610 #1 Posted December 29, 2017 Hi all. I'm currently redoing a work horse gt1142 but more custom then original. I've bought a p216 onan and the HD 8 speed 8 pinion rear diff to swap into it the rear end Ive already rebuilt currently waiting to get seals for it though. The onan I have picked up for $200 with about 1,050 hours that I'm tearing to to hone up re ring and reseal it. Everything so far looks good and seems to be well taken care of 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 610 #2 Posted December 29, 2017 Well I ran into a couple uh oh parts looks like its gotten hot once on the LH side head and the clutch rod hole in the hood stand is a bit wore out anybody have a good fix for the hole? I have a good block so no worries there. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,464 #3 Posted December 30, 2017 If you can get the part off - have a welder close it up and re-drill it to the correct spot . Other choice is to cut it out round and use a flange bearing (bushing) but make certain you get the hole placement right or things won't fit correctly . That cylinder almost looks like it had water in it at one time , plus a lot of heating . Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 610 #4 Posted December 30, 2017 The hood stand is already off the tractor and I'll see if my father can do that (been a welder for 30 years) and yes it sure does good thing I have a good spare block or two hanging around lol 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Then remove the collar and insert the 1/2" flange bronze bushing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Know where I can get the bushing? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,464 #7 Posted December 31, 2017 I use the hardware and farm stores for bronze bushings/bearings . Most times they are not sized/shaped exactly to what I need to they get cut down in the lathe . Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Shaft collars and the flanged bushings can be found at any good hardware store, even Lowe's and HD have them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Desko 610 #9 Posted January 3, 2018 I'll definitely have a look this weekend when I stop into town. I could make some but I don't have access to a lathe anymore. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
