Crank repair

(1/3) > >>

Just after a bit of advice. I volunteer at the RSPCA and we have an old ride on mower with a vertical crank engine that managed to seize solid the crank in the upper housing due to oil pump failure.

The crank runs just in an alloy journal and I suspect that it has just welded itself to the casing.

It is currently in my local machine shop but they are not optimistic as they think that if try to press it out it will just smash up the alloy block.

Sadly this is an old Tecumseh engine and can not get parts.

Just wondering if the whole project is doomed or is there any hope for repair.

Of course cost is a factor here and it may just not be economic in the end

Moorey:
Which engine is it. A bit more info needed.

Orcade-Ian:
If Springfield Mowers are still in business in Hill St Southport, they might be able to help - Pete and Mike never throw anything away so might have secondhand parts and both into Bikes too!
