Anything special I need to know to disassemble an HH60?

[ebinmaine 70,266]

We're going to take apart the Tecumseh from my Honey's 657 so I can replace the crankshaft.

Any little tricks or tips I need to know about?

by General principle I don't disagree Mike but that's why I need to take this apart in the first place

Couldn't find the right one. This phone is terrible for searching on.

While I agree with the basic tools presented:

 

Handle could be a bit longer...

 

Usually need more than 3 beverages...

 

Typically do not dance before, during or after...

Don’t know if you have found this one....

I agree with that wholeheartedly...

But, let me say two things about that.

1, I only just got this phone a few months ago and I'm kind of stuck with it for another year-and-a-half.

 

2, and most importantly, it's probably not the phone but the operator.

based on my mechanical skills , take it to a machine shop or find an old guy that likes to tinker with motors.

I NEED one and can’t find it 

I have an 854 with unoriginal blown engine that I’m doing a complete restoration on

It’s now down to frame with tranny off and engine ready for sandblasting

Nope.

Low hours on the whole tractor and Trina wants to keep it as it was.

It ran great before I broke the crankshaft.

I'm attempting to install a replacement module for the points so we won't need to remove the flywheel again.

Well after a few months of delay I'm finally getting back around to replacing the crankshaft in this engine so we can get it put back on Trina's 657.

 

I've tested the ignition system and determined that the points were oxidized and that was the cause of it failing to run last year after the restoration on the tractor.

 

I've gone through the manual and it looks like a fairly simple disassembly.

Of course I only have to take apart enough to get the crankshaft out and not the valves or piston I guess.

 

I'm sure I'll come up with several more questions as I do this but the one that comes up for me immediately is that the manual states the cam and crank gears must match and I understand the logic of that.

 

Is this to say that I must remove the crank gear from the one that is in the engine and swap it to the replacement? Or is that not really a big deal?

 

@pfrederi or other Tecumseh folk, what say you?
