What's on your bench?

Spelling was NEVER my strong suit!

Anyone have any advice on removing a clutch/pulley from a TS 400?

I'm trying to do seals on my brother's TS 400. Have the flywheel off, and the nut for the clutch/pulley, but can't seem to get the darn thing to budge.

Thanks.

Lock the pulley is some wood in the vice. Take a brass drift and drive on the crank. Good luck.

Mower at work had a small leak, figured I’d tighten the fitting. Went to move and shot fluid clear across the shop! 3hrs later the line is off and has a crack just after the flare.

Came off with a gear puller so easily I'm embarrassed! My Harbor Freight tool came through! The pulley separates from the clutch, even though they look as though they are one.

A 441 C-M currently... with erratic running issues. Hopefully the 33$ solenoid I had to order fixes the problem or I’m converting this sob to standard carb!

How hard is it to convert a mtronic 441 to non mtronic? Any stihl experts here? Just curious.

I HATE those things!!!!!!!! The County has four of them, every time I see one the stupid thing needs $2,000.00 worth of work, JUNK!!!!







Do yourself a favor and replace the O Rings at the hydraulic cooler while you have it that far apart. Major pain in the keister to do that much work for a $0.79 part.

Mac d was back on the bench for a carb kit. She purrs like a kitten now. Cant wait to wake the old girl up in some wood soon. Wish i had a test log here still.

Next in line on bench is the old IEL PIONEER. Need to find a carb kit for it. If anybody happens to know the part number to a diaphram kit that will work please let me know.

F2690? This thing has been flawless for almost 3 seasons now.

One owner 357xp I snagged last month. Deleted the auto decomp, updated intake with metal clamp, fresh ring and base gasket delete

That's an IEL model HC.
The carb it came with should be a tilly HL-8A or HL-8AX according to Acres site. Doesn't say which kit it takes

Sir Yes Sir, F2690. Maybe it is just how they treat them, but they are perpetually breaking down.

Brand new MS260.....

Has to be user abuse. This mower is used by 3-4 different guys, including me. But my crew are the easiest on equipment over 3 zones.

Well, both seals are out of that TS 400, but I have never had so much trouble pulling seals before, even broke one of my modified screwdrivers.

I think a real seal puller tool may be in my future. The time I wasted pulling these seals just does not make sense.

Did you happen to tap the seal with a socket to help loosen and making removal easier?
