582 Engine swap problem.
 

I inquired a 582 about 5 years ago but about a year ago the original briggs took a dump on me. So i found a Honda GX620 and bought it. It runs great its in the tractor but i have a vibration in the drive line because i made an adapter for the clutch driver. I am in need of someone that can machine an adapter if anyone has any information on a machine shop that i can contact would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Cody

I can make pretty much anything you need.

Jeff

I think what he needs is an adapter to bolt to the crank that will accept the 3 pin clutch driver sort of like the adapters that Mid West Super Cub sells for Kohlers and Vanguards but for a Honda. The pic is from there catalog but it should give you an idea.

Mac Thank you.
Jeff I sent you a P.M. and yes that looks like it but the flywheel only has 3 bolts.

Jeff

Check the other site there are drawings for the honda.

I can make something similar to that :beerchug:

PM please :biggrin2:

Thanks Vince :beer2:

Here are some pics during and after engine swap. Its not completely finished yet needs cover on mower deck sides cut to fit and tunnel cover installed.

You need some ductwork at the front to get the cooling air out the front grille, too. From what I've heard, those Honda V-twins run hot, so it needs all the help it can get.
