 Posted: Tue Jul 20, 2010 9:42 pm Post subject: Super C starter ring gear replacement? |
 |
|
As some of you know i got my tractor started finaly after a year and a half. Among a few other bugs, i know now i should have replaced the starter ring gear whil i had it tore down. It looked bad, but i thought it would work. I was wrong, the starter grinds on it sometimes. So this means removing the engine again. My question is do you let the ring gear cool slowly after heating it for installation? I am thinking a bed of hot coals to heat it in. Anyone have a better way?

No just drop it on there and let it cool till you can pick the flywheel up and put it back on.
Or for that matter if you have a torch to heat it with then just leave the flywheel on there. Use and old pair of vise grips or something to pick it up after heating and install. Shouldn't be any problem.
least i never had any problems

That the way I do them! Fortunatly I only have to worry about the oven part of it. I have a freezer in the building, and my wife cant see me put flywheels in the freezer. I do alot of parts like that that are a tight fit.

Guys thanks for bringing this method to attention; have never before heard this idea used. It does make good sence. roughly how hot do You set the oven?

Well i got err done today. Drove the old ring off with a brass drift punch, and big hammer. Used the oxy/acetylene torch to heat the new ring, not enough to make it glow hot. The ring just fell into place. Easy job. At least replacing the ring. Takin the engine back off was no picnic. Worked out in the hot sun most of the day at it, close to 100 degrees, and high humidity.
