JEGibbs 11 #1 Posted August 22, 2014 Ok, I have a puzzler. Why would someone turn a crankshaft down .125" but only out past the clutch plate for the pto? I bought a pto bell and the race was too big. my original race is .125 smaller id than the new one. It looks like someone sleeved the original race to match the new diameter.

WH nut 553 #2 Posted August 22, 2014 Sounds like you have a motor with a 1 inch shaft. Is it from a Wheel Horse? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEGibbs 11 #3 Posted August 22, 2014 Its a raider 14. The crank has been turned. It goes back to the 1.125 diameter flush with the clutch plate. What possible thing could have happened to need to turn just that section of crank? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,851 #4 Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) What is the spec number on the engine? Since the Raider 14 is supposed to have a K321, the K341 is a transplant. The spec number should tell you what the engine was originally made for, and that might explain the smaller diameter shaft.

Don1977 604 #5 Posted August 23, 2014 My guess is the PTO sleeve wore out the clips hold it and turned on the crank shaft wear it down. Turning it down and adding another sleeve inside got the PTO pulley back in line with the clutch plate. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEGibbs 11 #6 Posted August 23, 2014 Okay.. So here's the full story. I ordered the bell for a raider 14. My engine shroud says k301, my block says k341. I assumed the k341 was the 14hp. I apologoze for that mix up. (i'm new hahaha) So what is in my tractor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,851 #7 Posted August 23, 2014 Count the head bolts. 10 of them means you have a K341. 9 is either a K321, 301, or 241. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEGibbs 11 #8 Posted August 23, 2014 Well how about that How many of you can say you gained 2 hp by counting to 10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,851 #9 Posted August 23, 2014 So you have 10? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JEGibbs 11 #10 Posted August 23, 2014 yeah there's 10 bolts. and a k341 cast on the block behind the pto clutch plate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
