The Gman 476 #1 Posted March 28, 2022 Finally finished the H60 for the 654. Started this before Christmas but didn't think it would take so looooong. Mainly searching for parts then waiting... waiting.... and waiting. Still looking for diodes for the charging. Just can't see myself paying $30 plus $ conversion plus shipping on ebay. Would likely end up costing close to $60 for one. If I can't find them for a reasonable price I just might make my own, encapsulate them and assemble metal plugs on each end. Shout out to Snoopy for providing the crankshaft for this little fella. Turned out better than expected. I misted some acetone on the red paint prior to the last coat to give it a crinkled look for that casting effect. Compression ended up at 78 PSI which I think is pretty good for this little engine. Now onto the tranny...... More parts..... more waiting. Actually just a bearing set, ball and needles I already have a replacement shifter fork. 5 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHNJ701 4,165 #3 Posted March 28, 2022 (edited) Since those old lausen/Tecumseh ignition parts are getting very expensive and difficult to find, I removed the electronics and charging and just use the pull start. Usually 1st pull and its running Edited March 28, 2022 by jabelman 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do have a spare flywheel for the H60 laying around... as well as a few other parts around here somewhere... so if you need anything like that, hit me up.

Tractorhead 9,065 #7 Posted March 29, 2022 Great job on the Engine, i looked also for that diodes for my hh60 the first time but they appears to be very rare or expensive. I used a normal rectifier instead and let the original diodes sit on the Engine because of the Optics. one possibillity is to make you one yourself with high Power Schottky diodes at 10A rating. they be available with a fit plastic cover for a few cents. two metal caps and you be good to go. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
