HH100 to K241 swap

Recommended Posts

BenTheWheelHorseMan

I know I've been mia for a while, so it's good to be back. I was looking at a Massey Ferguson 10 on Craigslist, but it has the Techumseh HH100. I have had much better luck with kohlers and just so happen to have an extra K241 laying around the barn. I was wondering if you guys thought it would be super difficult other than the obvious ( changing wiring and ignition switches) to swap out the motors.

Doesn't the Tec have a 1" crank and the Kohler a 1-1/8". That would require all new pulleys.

I might be wrong, I'm no Tecumseh expert.

That makes sense. I am not a Techy expert by any stretch of the imagination either. Thanks

T-Mo

The HH100 Tecumsehs were good engines, so if isn't broke, why fix it now?   A lot of the HH100s are still running after 50 years.

Quite possible the crank is the same size. Tecumseh made 1in. and 1-1/8in. versions depending on what the manufacturer wanted. The bigger problem is that the Kohler engine is so much larger than the Tecumseh. It may be hard to get it in there. I'm with T-Mo, if it runs well, don't mess with it. Those big block cast iron Tecumsehs were great engines.

I understand the whole if it ain't broke don't fix it kind of thing. I have heard enough horror stories about techys being terrible to get tuned and I have a complete running k241 sitting around in the barn. I am more comfortable with the Kohler. It dosent much matter anyways as the tractor sold a few days back. Thanks for all of the feedback.

      Hi Guys, 
       
      Looking for some advice, 
       
      We rebuilt this k241 with a +.010 piston, Its had a rebore to +.010 but they did it off the manual specs and not the piston.
      Not ideal with an aftermarket piston but I wont get caught on this next time. 
       
      Its developed this oscillating ting noise, its not the metal cover its there with it on and off, 
      its 100% from the cam side, does it under low load / slow idle, 
      Have setoscoped the motor with a screwdriver to the ear, and I cannot locate it.
      but its in the top.
       
      Have rechecked valvel clearances x2 already , 1st before initial run, and again day after, very minimal adjustment made after 1st run. 
       
      Ting noise clearly heard in the video , appreciate any advice.

      When I start my engine it will die once i change the throttle from idle to full throttle and when I switch the cold start throttle to what ever down is. It will just die every time

      Well I found an eBay special, 700 Work Horse I bought for the deck to put on the 68 Commando I bought. 
      This 69 came as a parts machine, but all that is there is in great shape. Already pulled the trigger on a Tecumseh HH10, unfortunately did not do the research prior about the crappy coils on these engines. 
      Pill now ponder the repower more

      I'm working on rebuilding HH100 and trying to be as attentive to details as possible with my restoration. The picture below was of an NOS Raider 9, which is very similar to the tractor I am working on. The piece in question is highlighted by the yellow arrow in the picture below. What is this metal hoop on top of the engine called and what is its purpose? I have seen some tractors with it and others without. It seems useless to me and likely to be discarded if someone ever rebuilt the engine. I can't seem to find a good reference to it in the online HH100 parts list, at least not anything that gives me a part number to look up. Any insight into this would be appreciated.
