Took steering column loose,looked in and
realized that the flywheel was the wrong
one. (Throw out bearing wouldn't get anywhere near the clutch.) It had the thin one. Which meant
clutch was wrong, input shaft was
wrong the plate between motor and transmission was wrong...... Split tractor. Got it all
swapped out. And back together.
Everything is working correctly.......
Hope it will when we fire it up!! The
joy of buying 2 different tractors in
halves!! Lol
 
Yep sometime dealing with putting a mutt together can get you if you make one simple mistake. I have been lucky so far when swapping things around like when I built the BA or when I put a different engine in the W Speed Patrol
 
Ha, when I was building VW sand buggies we had 6 volt flywheels and 12 volt flywheels. No mistake on them as there was an obvious difference.
 
the 12v flywheel is slightly bigger than the 6 volt type. If you were converting up to 12 volts on a 6 volt car, the 12 volt flywheel was too big to fit within the 6 volt transaxle's bellhousing without some grinding to the inside of it to allow the 12 volt ring gear to clear the housing. There are all kinds of articles (and now, youtube videos) on how to hog out the radius of the bellhousing for clearance with a die grinder, but the cheap and dirty way was to put some long bolts through the bellhousing-to-engine block holes, loosely attach the two together, then start up the engine. Then all you had to do was slowly draw them evenly together and let the ring gear be your milling machine! It worked great as long as you took it apart and cleaned out all that magnesium dust and millings (great fun to toss into a fire!) and replaced the trans imput seal.

In my youth our gang got to where we could replace a complete VW beetle engine- from backing up on the ramps to driving off of them under its own power again- in less than 1/2 hour. Slightly longer if somebody forgot to undo the throttle cable!
 
Wow. Back in the late 1950s I did a brake job on a 1955 Ford station wagon in 30 minutes, alone, no machine work was necessary. Got $25 for the job.
