Removing tins on a 682
 
I'll be using the 682 to mow the lawn. I was thinking of removing the tins that wrap the motor to help get some heat away from the motor. Any thoughts?

it will be perfectly fine with the tins on provided the cooling fins on the engine are clean and the fire wall is in place with the proper duct, the tins that wrap the engine are designed to force air over the cooling fins and the engine will overheat if you remove them. i recommend removing the engine and removing the tins so you can clean the cooling fins, there usually filled with mouse nest and dirt, once that's done put it all back together and it will be good to go.

Completely unnecessary

The tins are supposed to be on the engine to direct the cooling air from the blower. If you remove them it will over heat. Only reason to remove them is to clean the fins but then they need to be reinstalled.

WHOA!!! I misread that when I replied. I thought you were taking the side panels off the tractor, not the engine tins. Good God NO!! That's what cools the engine! :bash2:

Jonathon-I thought your first response was rather low key. :)

Thanks all

IMO leave all the tins in place. X2 on what everyone else said about it helping with cooling flow.
