WHGuy413 2,689 #101 Posted November 19, 2022 I would definitely try to stick with the engine that’s on it. Yeah it’s not correct but it fits and you already have it. Adding the atc70 engine may take a lot of modifications. Fixing the recoil is fairly easy. I’m guessing either the spring is broke or it just needs to be rewound to put more tension on it. 1 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks. Kollin Surplus Center has a good variety of pulleys at reasonable prices. The ones you buy at the local hardware store are cast aluminum and are not suitable for this application. The ones at SC are cast Iron and will do the job. This may sound confusing but they are an A/B pulley and the outside diameter is for a "B" (5/8") belt. Give us the shaft size and outside diameter of the ones you need and we can look them up for you. https://www.surpluscenter.com/Pulleys-V-Belts/Finished-Bore-Pulleys/?page_no=1&fq=ATR_Grooves:1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,619 #104 Posted November 20, 2022 Recoils and pulleys are easy fixes. See if you are getting spark, then go from there. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You've got work to do! Patience though grasshopper Lots of blaster or something similar for a while. Tighten a fraction, loosen a fraction, and repeat. If they don't move, they're doing what mother nature intended them to do...but they will likely begin to budge in time. It will probably take days. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #113 Posted February 17, 2023 like maybe WD i already sprayed some on it a bit ago 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 1,369 #114 Posted February 17, 2023 16 minutes ago, The Freightliner Guy said: like maybe WD i already sprayed some on it a bit ago Yep. Spray every screw and bolt while it's there with you. Do that a few times a day and most of it will come apart. You might lose some and have to address those, but you should be able to save a bunch of hassles if you're patient and back the screws and bolt out without breaking them. 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #115 Posted February 18, 2023 i pulled the tank off and man its brand new has stick in it and everything i pulled the carb off brand new bunch of orange and green dust on it the tank has some metal flacks and what looks to be decomposed acorns the bottom is flaking rust im sure thats factory lol its pretty rough to say the least 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ineedanother 1,369 #116 Posted February 18, 2023 Just set each piece aside in an organized way and deal with them one by one. You might be surprised what you can restore from old machines. Patience...and take pictures as you take it apart so you know where things go during reassembly. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oliver2-44 9,756 #117 Posted February 18, 2023 As you take it apart you might want to put bolts, nuts back into holes or pieces they came from. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Freightliner Guy 1,327 #118 Posted June 11, 2023 (edited) well i found a pulley extractor and i removed the pulley from the briggs and put it on the predator i didnt fully put in just in case we need to move it so itll be inline with the transmission pulley when we mount the engine...

A cotter key would be able to shear off, given enough side load, it I have seen some that way with mixed results. I’ve lost a front wheel from a pin before. Even mowing or doing chores, loosing a front wheel isn’t fun. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
D_Mac 8,619 #123 Posted July 6, 2023 I agree with @Pullstart. I would put a washer on the end with a c-clip. Keep up the good work. 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The way your hood is cut you may be able to just use the stock throttle temporarily til you come up with a way for the throttle to be on the hood. i haven’t been on in a while and just saw your video. It definitely will make you a great tractor. Keep up the good work. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
