CA-B flywheel and ring gear

Paintjar · Jan 27, 2010

Can I swap these flywheels and not get into trouble. Both have 90T. The one on the right comes off a CA that is locked up. The one on the left is from a B that I am going to use. The B had a dry wick, bushing looks worn, and some teeth are mared. The CA weighs more but is in good shape.

They are interchangeable and will work fine.

Make sure the clutches will interchange. Earlier B's had a 1/2" smaller diameter.

Thanks Dick. The clutch are the same. The CA is 1951 and the B is 1955.

If you wanted to put a D14 moter in your ca that flywheel will fit that one too,
I put a d14 motor in a c no problem

Paintjar, You mention, "it had a dry wick". What does that mean? I have my Grandfathers B and new to this stuff. Thanks. Larry in New York.

DoneDeere, The wick is referring to a fiber wick in the end of the crankshaft which "wicks" engine oil to the pilot bushing to lube it. A dry wick means no oil transfer to pilot bushing. Likely caused by engine not running for long enough to cause oil to evaporate from the wick Tim
