i have found 2 sizes of bosses. i need [Linked Image]
[Linked Image]
the pulley on the left is from a 550 so i believe the boss in the middle fits into the pully but the shaft size is larger than any other full crank i have. found a fella the other day that said he would machine one for me. i presume i cannot get one from anywhere?
[Linked Image]
Question. do i have to use any particular type of steel?
cheers

do you have side start fullcrank around ? i know top of the crank is different it had a flat side to locate the flywheel but wasnt aware the bottom of it was too !
now you know how easy it is to remove it find another and measure the O.D of it , see if its the same then knock it off and try it
i think i only have the one here and it is from a 550 so not much help really , should need to machine one up im almost sure ! try another side pull 1st that doesn't have the pulley already on it

just measured, both are 50mm. i recon there is no need for a longer shaft as the blade plate compensates, there are also spacers between the motor and the frame

i shouldnt think they would but stranger things have happened , would be hard to imagine they had crankshafts made for a few self propelled's . even a different diameter and maybe taper is a toughie but i will look at some tomorrow too cold now hahaha , you seem to have a few laying around there too rusty see what you come up with ?
got me thinking here confused

same blade carrier just longer blades on mine , still have the plate . whats 50mm ? exposed end of crank ?? a lot of machines did have spacers its why you refit them depending if it had or didnt have .
why not just change the topends over ? problem solved

its rebored inside doesnt mean its different , just the piston is larger and needs to stay the same . (see matched sets) change the barrel AND piston from another engine keep them matched and together = same barrel and piston from one to the other engine .
easy huh

!!!!!! it would seem that the blade plate is stuck hard against the frame. I put the spacers in maybe i should have left the washers out [Linked Image]could i put a large washer inbetween the boss and the blade plate or do i need to pull the motor off and take the washers out and see?

hmmmmmmmm didnt put 2 sets of spacers by chance ?? look close , they are already fitted between crankcase and nut , then maybe you put more under nuts between nuts and base ?
please check 1st ! then lets know whats going on ?

vccomm thanks for the interest it seems to be the boss. sorry to waste your time. will let you know when i get one machined. meanwhile i put that motor on the utility i got last night [Linked Image]

Have no idea how to purtify it. will clean the blade up tomorrow too cold now.
whoever does it could probably kill this frustrating thread.
thanks
