Ok folks slowly but surley getting the 226 back together. It had to go on the back burner for a while, to fix other engineS. Anyway, when i got my d17 a couple of previous owners ago blew the governor weights. Previous owner didnt fix it, I am though. Anyway the front cover got the bottom lip broke on it and bits and pieces got ran through the engine. I saw a front cover on ebay that looked like mine being sold an "allis chalmers front cover"; bought soly on a picture, got it for $20. did a side by side comparison with mine. i had to enlarge 2 holes, and change out the governor levers. I have come to the conclusion that this cover came off an older model wd/wd45. I know its not original, but i have it and im gunna make it work.
The front seal is different, herein lies the prob. my seal kit has a "typical" seal that would go in my original cover, and also another longer steel colored looking seal that incorporates a felt like ring in it with the ribber seal. I believe the second seal i mention is what i should use, right?? as the other will not fit. I also have 2 white colored felt like halves, where these go?? Also have a couple of round rubber like seals that are about 1/2"-3/4" diameter, where to stick these?? Finally, my water pump "growls" when i spin it by hand and i can feel play in it. I thought i read of somebody rebuilding theirs at home. Anyone got any info on that. Did a quick search and came up with nothing. Is a there a bearing/seal kit available?? Thanks for all the info.
