| I see my wheel horse dozer blade is not the only design out there that can be mechanically angled side to side. I'll give you sears guys a point for that lol. @Buck Mault Nothing wrong with a good arm workout. It will turn you into popeye lol. Looks like you mimicked the way a wheel horse dozer blade connects all the way back to the transaxle. It's a strong design. I'm glad you went that route. The only thing I would add is some gussets where the original plow frame meets that beautiful frame you built so the original mount can't bend either to the left or to the right. | |

| good luck getting that both out. Those are a ton of fun. Look at the tapered roller bearing on the crankshaft, never seen that before in a motor. | |

| It's super easy, just use a bolt extractor set. I've done that before, took 10 minutes to fix it. | |

| Id weld a washer down first, if you have a thick one, you should be able to get some nice hot welds then weld a nut to the washer. Just dont stick it to the block.  The Tec on my st10 shakes the whole tractor at full rpms. Its pretty intense, but bump it down a little bit its not bad

| Sure thing. Ide probably whack it with a hammer after welding the washer on, and again when the nut is welded on. If you can turn it, might be good to work it back and forth a bit with some liquid wrench.

| How is your clutch/pulley? Looks like you got some good mud there. You don't have a bearing going out in the clutch causing it to bounce the belt? _______________________________________________ Li'l RED my original modified tractor!Forum Admin -- Chat Admin-- Facebook Page Admin ATLTF Facebook Page -- How To Upload PicturesHave a question?

- Does an old Tecumseh have a compression release of sorts?
On the vertical shaft engines, that have the oil pump driven off the cam. When the engine is not running and no oil pressure, that is when the compression release is on. It is on the cam exhaust lobe. The cam is hollow and a pathway for the oil to the whole engine. When the engine is cranking to start, it dumps compression out the exhaust a few revolutions, enough to get the engine spinning and to fire. when the engine fires, usually when the oil pressure is at max, the easy start rod on the cam lobe disengages and you get full compression. If the engine doesn't fire or start then the easy start won't disengage. The oil pump will only supply enough oil to disengage it when running.
On a horizontal shaft Tecumseh, IDK if it has this setup or a different kind of setup. But does need the rpm of engine running to disengage it, and cranking rpm usually isn't fast enough. here is the mechanical compression release (MCR) spring loaded and the released by centrifugal force   something got lodged in there | |

| That sucks about the cylinder wall. That compression release looks quite a bit like the ACR Kohler had, pretty simple system really haha. _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* - Allis B-110 x2, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss | |

| I'm not much of an engine guy other than add fuel vapor, air and spark and watch the boom, but I wonder if rehoning would help that scratch? _______________________________________________ Li'l RED my original modified tractor!Forum Admin -- Chat Admin-- Facebook Page Admin ATLTF Facebook Page -- How To Upload PicturesHave a question?

| Best you could do with a hone would be to just break the glaze off of the bore. Not much you could do otherwise, unless you wanted to go with an oversize piston | |
