It looks like a decent gringing job and the flywheel does stay tight but the tractor has a shake to it. The marks are ground off both the crank and the flywheel. Is it possible to align the flywheel properly without the marks? I'm not sure if this is the problem or the welding job has it out of balance. I wouldn't think a little welding would make that big of difference but I have never seen this done to a crank before. Thanks [Reply]   [No Email]

Soooooo get the left piston to TDC and see if the Flywheels LHI mark is at 3 o clock!!!!!!!!!!! If so the flywheels on the correct crank spline 2) VIBRATION If the clutch drive disk is on the wrong spline (or the flywheel on wrong spline on crank) ITS VIBRATION CITY....The heavy purposeful offset on the flywheel MUST BE 180 OPPOSITE from the heavy offset side over on the clutch drive disk. HAS THE CLUTCH DISK BEEN REMOVED AND WAS IT PUT BACK ON THE RIGHT SPLINE???Look for a V mark on the disk or insure its heavy side is 180 opposite from flywheels heavy offset Maybe there will be other opinions??? or others can add to this, but thats my best shot John T [Reply]  [No Email]
