Don't use much it needs a little but too much will get on the clutch disk. It only uses that bearing when it's not in use.

I just wiped down the needle bearings after wiping them clean...I'll keep my fingers crossed !

Making sure you have this

 

@gwest_ca...thanks for posting...would I still have those thrust bearings with an engine model number 402437 I was thinking I seen somewhere in this thread where someone had posted spec details about the Briggs twins, and according to the way I read it, I had a Briggs with bearings.

[Horse Newbie 7,051]

Got the engine tins and PTO back on the Briggs.

[Horse Newbie 7,051]

The chaff screen was on farther than I put it back...it has 2 sets of holes...in the farthest in position it was scratching the tins...

[Horse Newbie 7,051]

Got the input shaft seal and the right axle seal fished out...

  If you look, I did say you had 1" axles and a 4 pinion differential.

Yes you did say that @stevasaurus, and you would be correct...but I would not know...I have to trust you guys.

Wire brushing the frame under neath and where the transmission bolts to the frame.

 

I WAS NOT planning on all this...

 

Check out this steering linkage repair...

Do any of you know if anybody on Red Square sells the PTO brake pad bracket ?

I replaced my clutch disc because it was almost worn to the rivet heads and the PTO brake pad is almost to the rivets as well.

Should've got one with the PTO disc and got our discounted price (see the listing on my vendor page for more info )

@76c12091520h I see you have them for Kohler and Onans... I need one for a Briggs twin...

Would one  of the Kohler or Onans be the same as Briggs ?

I checked your vendor ad...only mentioned Kohler and Onans...

My bad, forgot what we were working on . But yes we have them too discontinued by Toro, they are also listed on our vendor page. Sorry for the mix-up.

[Horse Newbie 7,051]

@76c12091520h...I couldn't see them on you vendor site ...must be tripping...send a link/ invoice to me PM, or email and I will pay it.

 

Thanks!

Still have one hub, and the brake drum to pull...my welder friend has on of these, and he said that should do it...

I got carried away !

Hahahahaha.  

Excellent.  

 

There's certainly something to be said about a good full frame off every single nut and bolt restoration!!!

Yes, but is that something suitable for posting?  Perhaps not 

[Horse Newbie 7,051]

Is this supposed to have a hole in the bottom ?

I'm thinking maybe yes, but I've never disassembled the steering block to remove a fan gear. It'd serve to lube the fan pivot and lower face below the gear teeth, as well as the steering shaft pivot, right?

[Horse Newbie 7,051]

Thanks @Handy Don...I need to investigate it further.

[Horse Newbie 7,051]

I got the frame painted Rustoleum Satin Black...

Thanks @Gregor...it's got a grease zert that goes to the area that has the hole in the bottom.

I thought for a second that the steering column shaft had worn through...

It was dry, but did not have a lot of wear...

I'm moving forward with it !

@Gregor...man you are awesome with your help !

When I first responded to "Mine does", the pic had not loaded ( my phones about shot )...

When I seen the pic I said " This guy doesn't play around"

Now that's what I call a good answer !

Following along!

Been hiding under a rock lately.

Im back!
