Wheelhorse#1 1,829 #1 Posted October 4, 2021 (edited) Apparently I mashed up a couple threads on the crank,blower side getting the flywheel off. Does anyone know the pitch and size of threads on that end ? It’s a kohler 301. I’ve been trying to find the info but can’t seem too. I believe 5/8 ? I’ll need to retrace them need to buy a die .

Me too, lots of times, because I'm way too cheap to buy an expensive die for a one time use! https://www.harborfreight.com/12-piece-needle-file-set-468.html @Wheelhorse#1 Edited October 5, 2021 by Jeff-C175 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

oldlineman 1,537 #5 Posted October 5, 2021 You can make a cheap thread chaser with a nut and cutting or filing groves in the threads something like a die. Works if threads are not too bad. Bob 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pfrederi 18,669 #8 Posted October 6, 2021 Bought this set probably 25 years ago. One of the best tool investments I ever made.. Use it on Milittay vehicles (lots of NF) Old tractors Case and Farmall and of course lots of Wheel horses. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s a nice looking set.I bought a tap and die set from TS it’s ok but doesn’t have larger sizes. 25 yrs ago craftsman,they were still making nice stuff, now most everything,like every thing els is China garbage …don’t get me started !😉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
