HH60 Pull start junked!?

Recommended Posts

Team70R

Pulled the cord on my HH60 tonight and it made a hellacious noise :(:unsure:resulting in the cord pulling alllll the way out.... And staying out. Got an electric starter sitting on my junk H60... Will it work!!?? Or should I rebuild the pull start?

it should work if you switch all the stuff over from the other motor. fly wheel and shrouds i'm probably forgetting sum things

Those Tecky rewinds have a tendency to get worn out! :)

Depending on the age if you original HH60 was not electric start there is probably no ring gear on the flywheel.  When my father started to have problems pulling the recoil start on his  (now my) L107 with an H60.  I got a starter motor for it only to discover there was no ring gear.  Different part numbers for flywheels with electric start.  (wound up buying a new HH70 for him with compression release.  It was a pull start but it had a ring gear... but was from the late 80s)

 

Recoils are a Techys weak spot.  i have replaced the one on my Troybilt tiller 2 times.   I put an electric starter on the HH70 we put in the L107...(I am not a s stubborn/frugal as my father:P)

 

 

Edit:  The electric starts used a different magneto setup.  Is the one on your junker working?

Everything is good on the junker except the shroud and the flywheel is missing a fin.... Thinking about just going with an aftermarket recoil start, only because it's a heck of a lot easier to deal with

If your flywheel has a ring gear just put on a starter motor and solenoid.  You will have to charge the battery every 2-3 months but so what easier than yanking it.  i use mine for chores lots of starting and stopping but only have to put on a charger every 2-3 months...and she hauls coal in the winter.

Picked up a blown up  electric start H60 for $10 and swapped the flywheel and starter over to the HH60! Tested it out with some jumper cables and presto, electric start!! Hooking up a solenoid and momentum switch tomorrow!

      I recently purchased a GT1800 with a blown engine with the intent of conversion to electric. 
      This is my first Wheel Horse and I have never seen it running. I need a little work on it but it looks sound.
      I will not be hacking it up, If this project goes poorly, I would want to bring it back to stock operation with new engine.
       I will be creating a blog at some point to show conversation. 
      Budget will be tight, I will be using parts from past projects, but motor will be new permanent magnet DC. 
      Voltage will be 48v, as many old lithium batteries that I can fit in. I plan to retain pto clutch.

      In an attempt to remove the fuel line from the petcock on the bottom of my gas tank on a C-120 I inadvertently pulled the entire grommet out of the bottom of the tank spewing gas everywhere. Yes, in hindsight  I should've emptied the tank but figured closing the petcock would be suffice...
      Wrong!  What a mess.. had gasoline everywhere.
      Anyhow my question is: 
      Is it necessary to use  a sealant on the grommet prior to re-installing it back into the bottom of the gas tank?
      Oh and advise very appreciated thanks in advance.

      Here's a crazy question I had to ask anyway. I have an old HH 60 that has no spark. Obviously something with the magneto. There is no way to recharge these correct?  I have cleaned all connections and still no spark any helpful suggestions lmk
      Thanx

      We're going to take apart the Tecumseh from my Honey's 657 so I can replace the crankshaft.
      Any little tricks or tips I need to know about?
