Was wanting some info on throttle and choke linkage. The linkage that was on it was definetly wrong so I set it up like my 33r which I am99% sure is original (linkage mounted to blower housing) will this be factory correct for the 552?

Also should this tractor have a exhaust support from the case of the engine?

Thanks for any help I know this may be trivial to some degree but I just want original if possible.

No exhaust support, but they did use a bolt-on exhaust "manifold".

This pic is of a 32E, which is the same as the 552:

(ignore the incorrect air cleaner assembly)

The throttle linkage was on the blower housing, but I don't have any pictures that show it clearly.

This is from a 502:

I know that Terry is right about 99% of the time, but mine had an exhaust brace:

Well that was helpful, anybody have one of those exhaust flanges they would part with. I was hoping for the support bracket because the inner threads on my block are about shot and need all the help they could get.That is the first time I have seen that flange and it would cure the problem with the bad threads.

It wont look just right but I believe I can machine a rectangular one If I cant find one. And still put the brace under it for comforts sake.

I will have to kick around in the rocks and cipher on that one for a while :)

Thanks guys.

Now that you mention it - I have seen the braces on a few 62 models. (but none still had the original HT Lauson ~ including my 502 & 552) Perhaps they were added part way into production? :)

I can't help with the bolt-on manifold, but I might have an extra brace here somewhere.

Mine had the brace, but there was no U-bolt to hold he exhaust steady. It had pulled the threads out of the block, and cracked through the side of the exhaust port.

I had a friend weld the block back up, then did the machining to refit the exhaust manifold.

Foumd another blurry picture of the carb part of the linkage:

With that info it gets the brace original or not (with the clamp of coarse). Im satisfied with the linkage its identical to my 33r

One NOS #5646 (old #2297) exhaust brace complete with genuine OEM female u-bolt!

(I know you'll get the "female" joke.) :wh:

You know how to find me...... and I might even be able to find that grocery list again. :)

TT I was looking at the head shroud on the picture you posted and was wondering if there was just bushings under it with longer head bolts to make up for the 3 recessed head bolts holes in the head, mine and kiwis are the same ,where that head appears to be flat like a h60.

Ill PM you later to swap Info;going to go tinker in the shed.
