REDMRED 0 #1 Posted December 17, 2008 hi i have a wh 550 with out engine, I found what looks exactly like a h55d 2113, except it has no electric start . Now if it is identical what should be the shaft size and pully type? where could i get this pully, one last question , can i eventually convert this engine to a electric start.

TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #2 Posted December 18, 2008 Shaft size should be 3/4". The 2 pulleys were 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Bullington 5 #3 Posted December 18, 2008 TT is right on the money!!! some engines dont have the holes for the starter,,,also the shrould needs a cone for the starter,,,then if you want a charging sytem thats a whole nother chapter... let us know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now if it is identical what should be the shaft size and pully type? where could i get this pully, one last question , can i eventually convert this engine to a electric start. My 502 has an H55 (recoil start) on it. The block has the holes for the starter on it. To convert to electric start you would need a starter, flywheel with a ring gear, and a fan housing with provision for the starter. Then you'd need all the charging system stuff too. Maybe H60 stuff would fit on the H55? A lot of parts will interchange... FWIW the crank size on mine is 1". (Front engined tractor with the 3 V PTO pulley.

TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #5 Posted December 18, 2008 Is your engine an HT55C, Mike? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #6 Posted December 18, 2008 Is your engine an HT55C, Mike? Just went and got the numbers. Wish I hadnt now.... HT 55A 3088 P 11K23. Looks like its a mongrel, huh. That might explain the bolt on exhaust manifold as well. The HT55C's had a 3/4 shaft? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #7 Posted December 18, 2008 I'm guessing that the HT's are heavier than the H's. (like the H vs. HM Tecumseh equivalents) My 32E Lawn Ranger has an HT55C 3089 P with a 1" crankshaft and the 3 groove pulley - just like the 552 tractors used. (which makes sense because the 1962 Lawn Rangers are basically 502/552 models with small wheels & tires and different toolbox/fenders.) I'm pretty sure the H55B & D's (used on the 550 & 551 models) had a 3/4" crankshafts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Bullington 5 #8 Posted December 18, 2008 Yes TT I would say you are correct...I had a H55A off a 550 once that had the 3/4 shaft :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
