How hard is it to get the big nut off the blower end of the crank? I suspect the seal is out under the blower on this little piglet. Want to inspect that and the top of cylinder #1 before I order any parts.

Anyone have a source for free service manual on these Vanguards?? Model number 294447-0445-01

Thanks in advance,

Steve

Pulled the head off the dead hole. Pretty nasty. I believe that indicates a head gasket failure as well?

I'll send a PM, Sam. I just built a puller of sorts to get the fly wheel off. I am assuming a tapered crank, right? Put some good pressure on it and wailed on it for a while with a rubber hammer. No budge. I left the pressure on. I do not have a service manual.

My puller idea is not working. The reason I was thinking it off is to check the seal under the flywheel. Any suggestions? I did just notice the bolts have no hash marks on the head. Better get some higher grade bolts in there. When I had both bolts super tight I was wailing away with ball peen hammer on the flat stock. I used rubber hammer on the outside of the cast flywheel. I sprayed the crank with PB blaster. My only heat source here at the house is one of those yellow MAP gas hand held torches.

I've taken Vanguard flywheels off by simply putting a light pry on one side of the flywheel and tapping the end of the crank with a hammer.

If you try this, run the crank nut out flush to protect the threads and don't pry too hard, you might crack the aluminum.

I've used a puller as well. Never had any problem getting the flywheel off. They came off easy.

Looking at your puller again. Try running the bolts in tight and then loosen the big nut against the puller and see if that will pop the flywheel off.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
