More AC 620 Problems

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I've been wrestling with an AC 620 that I got for mowing a bigger yard. Actually, the neighbor said if I got a good rider, that he could use too, he'd do the mowing for both of us. Hmmm, I think he's getting the better part of the deal. It's four hours of push mowing for either one. If the AC can do both yards in an hour, he's waaaay ahead of the game.

Anyway, I still have two problems with the tractor. The engine only wants to run on one cylinder. As near as I can figure, with the two-poled coil, the ignition fires both cylinders simultaneously, every time the cylinders come up TDC. What I need to know is whether the Onan CCKB engine runs the points off the cam or off the crankshaft. I'm thinking one of the cam lobes could be worn just a bit and not opening the points properly like the other. The "off" cylinder will occaisionally hit and makes a big improvement in engine performance....DUH. Believe it or not, the thing will still mow, just at a very slow speed on one cylinder.

Next, I have a bad pulley, again, on the mower deck. This one is on the middle spindle shaft, and runs the blade pulleys. The main deck pulley (belt from engine) bolts to this thing. Anyway, the pulley is all wallowed out. With the engine running and the mower engaged, the middle pulleys flop around real bad. The neighbor used to be a machinist and said the spindle shaft looks good, no wearing and sharp keyway cuts. He says the pulley is bad.

Any ideas where to get another pulley? Seems a lot of you guys have mower deck collections going. Spare parts?

Regards,
David

	Give a Simplicity dealer a call about a pulley. The Simplicity Power Max 4041 should be the same tractor. I also think the points run off the cam. A stuck valve is also common on those older Onan engines.

	I would say you have other problems on engine! As Jeff said valves! Check compression and if low, pull head off and check-look at valves! Most of those old onans are worn out in these tractors. Pulley shouldn't be hard to fine.
	5 different TT-10's,5 TT-18's Terra Tigers,B-10,2 B-207's,B-110,2 B-112's,HB-112,B-210,B-212,HB212,2 Scamp's & Homilite T-10. Still hunting NICE HB-112 & anything Terra Tiger & Trailers for them.

	I guess I'll call Sandy Lake Implement again and see if I can get the small pulley from them. I already got the big pulley. FWIW, I stuck my thumb over the plug hole and cranked the engine and it blew my thumb of quickly. It felt like good compression. Thanks for your thoughts guys.
