I'm having the opposite problem as rick deere. I have the new style oil slinger (A21950R). The flywheel came loose, so I tore everything apart.
The woodruff key is broken right as it sticks out into the crankshaft thrust plate. How important is it that the crankshaft thrust plate sits on that key?
The pin on the thrust plate cover that holds the thrust washer locater in one position is broken. How important is it that the thrust washer locater stay in the same position?
Additionally, I cannot get the crankshaft to measure endplay unless the tractor has been running. What am I missing? If I put 0.04" of shims behind the thrust plate, no endplay is measured, but if I start the tractor, I get > 0.035" of endplay after it has been running.
Thanks in advance. When the flywheel came loose, I believe there was very little endplay, practically none that I could feel in the hand clutch, which is probably why the woodruff key and the pin were broken off.
