You can eliminate all those inner pieces if you replace the 14-75 that has one retaining ring groove to a later version that has two retainers - one on each side of the bearing.

@MainelyWheelhorse FYI, that extension map be a tapered fit. That would mean the Kohler haft has a taper. But you can buy tapered sleeves on EBay it the Jungle toget you to the length and diameter you need.

Bought a 520-H and a 656 today, kind of impulse buys, but I’m happy! The two are getting delivered tomorrow. What should I expect? The 520 doesn’t run but it’s in decent shape. The 656 on the other hand, a little worse, sorry a LOT worse. Pictures when they come tomorrow

I see lots of terrible parking in the course of my job, mostly by entitled people who are too lazy to walk more than three feet to the door, so the block the door to the shop. But we don't have gas pumps. I think the worst one I've seen with gas pumps, and it was so much entitled as it was stupid, was this one guy at Sam's. He had one of those push-button start cars (don't get me started on how dumb those are). Anyway, he dropped his girlfriend off over at the store across the plaza and went to get gas. He shut the car off, pumped his gas, then remembered the key was in her purse.

The 520 lives! I filled the tank with gas changed the oil and it fired right up! No spark problem. Now for the 656, what should I do with it?

Yes, they are rough, but they are a good start for project

Fixed that for ya'

The 520 was $125 and the 656 was $45 so it was a given that I bought them
