400 tiller

[Sam Mac]

I ended up with a 400 tiller as a trade on the sale of my 1782 here is the thread. http://www.onlycubcadets.net/forum/s...ad.php?t=36390

Well it needs a little TLC so figured I'd start a separate thread about this project. I'll get some pics of the thing apart tomorrow. Anyway I have it pretty well disassembled. It has 2 broken spirol pins on the output shaft and in order to replace them the whole (lots of 4 letter words) thing needs to come apart. This has got to be one of the nastiest jobs going. It's dirty (I have the water at the shop drained so no pressure washer) the case is full of grease/oil. Well it's apart now I need to order a couple bushings and a gasket. The input looks like it had a bearing take a dump at some point and the shaft spun in the bearing and who ever worked on it (take his tools away) just put a new bearing in it with out repairing the shaft that has a groove worn in it about 1/16" deep so the bearing is hardly doing anything. Of course Cub only wants $113 for the shaft, hello machine shop, here we come. The output shaft with the spirol pins is an asinine design, if your going to have something that is the weak link at least be smart enough to put it on the outside, no... we have two 3/8" spirol pins inside and four 7/16" bolts outside, two on each side. We'll fix this issue. It's getting solid pins welded into the inside and some shear pins on the outside and I'll setup the belt to slip before something important gets hurt. Rant over. A couple pics. before I got into the chain case. More to follow.

Do you have a picture of the manifold you need for that B&S I think have one that looks similar laying out behind the shop. No promise but I'll look tomorrow in the daylight.

I'll get a pic. Pretty sure most of the old flat head 8HP briggs had the same part. I got it off the engine today. Worst case I'll have to repower this thing. May be able to get it welded.

Does one of your SGT's have a rear PTO?

Nope, no rear PTO's on any of my Super's. This thing has a Broke & Scattered 8HP flat head hand grenade for an engine. If I can't replace or repair the intake manifold it will probably get an 8HP Harbor Freight Chonda.

Is it a down draft style carb? If so, I'm 99% sure I have one.

Here's the 8hp briggs out of my chipper. It stopped quite suddenly

If you had a rear PTO, I was going to suggest a right angle gear box instead of another motor. But, you don't have one so it's out.

Ouch that's ugly. This is what I need.

Here is the one I have, doesn't look quite the same but it may work. Yours if you want. The motor is scrap but I was saving it because it has the reduction gearbox on it.

It's worth a shot. I'll PM you my address.
