smoreau 658 #1 Posted May 24, 2014 Just wondering if there is anything I should be aware of before I pull the cover to replace the gasket. I checked the onen manual and I see the bearing, spacer, and the thrust washer that I have to be careful of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martin 2,130 #2 Posted May 24, 2014 Only thing I can think of would be to be patient removing the cover. They are usually pretty tight on there and you want to be real careful to not damage either the block or bearing shell for the crank. Knowing you Scott, I'm sure you will be fine. Just make sure you support the crank a little and gradually work the bearing plate off, don't get it kicked out of line with the crank while taking it off.....

smoreau 658 #4 Posted May 24, 2014 you can see the split in the gasket right next to the bearing oil feed hole. Just picked this tractor up from another member that got it on trade and didn't want to mess with it. 1990 520 with a 60" deck. its got a lot of gremlins and warn parts, but the price was very fair and i am happy with the purchase! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
