If at 1 1/2" the throwout just begins to move outward, it is an adjustment issue with the connecting rod between the steering lever shaft and the throwout quill. If the adjusting bolt is at the bottom of the slot (farthest away from the pressure plate), then yes, the discs are shot. Unless you addre...

Maybe I am missing something, but none of the measurements you state seem correct to me. Steering levers should be back 1 5/8" give or take to set the throwout bearing. Reread the manual carefully, it is likely just an adjustment error.

Timing can not jump on these barring a mechanical failure of some sort. It is likelly an ignition issue, possible faulty piece, etc. Check the timing with a trouble light, then you know for sure on timing. Check all connections, check polarity on coil and anything else you can think of. Then for kic...

They are cast iron, vee it out, braze it and run it. There is no concentrated stress on the hole, it is distributed around the hole by the bearing quill. It is likely a crack from prior in it's life when a bearing went out and played nutcracker with the gears, and cracked the case. Normally it just ...

I've been out of the office a lot due to a death in the family, but have 14 hours of road time every week, so just leave a message, and I will call on the way back home.

You may not know it, I am the owner of this site, and I sell parts for these crawlers. You can call 701-361-1006 and I can get you squared away.

Part number should be on the pump.
None of them come with the window, it is only installed for timing, then removed.

Congrats, enjoy it.

No, jobber or home made.

Should have one on hand.

Can't find it, but it is 74 at the end instead of 72.
