Got a friend that just got a 60 that has a very bad vibration in the right side. Spent Sunday checking out balance, and all is Ok, yes it has correct clutch driver,per JD, disks were fair, no missing or broken parts,was in time and flywheel is in time also, etc. Puttin in new pulley bushing and bearing now.
So does this leave only mismatched rod or piston or can anyone think of something else that I am over looking here. Really question the piston and rod thing as seller said he put in new rings, and he put in all new clutch parts, (yeh, right and they come with deep rust and wore clutch disks) so wondering what else he may have cobbled up inside. Oh yes and he put new gears in the trans, yep and then filled trans with this new milk colored oil. lol
Any suggestions you have will be of a great help, just don't have the nerve to tell him we have to pull the engine down. If you all agree its the rod or piston I will try to go through the top cover and see if by luck the part numbers can be seen and compaired first. Thanks for any help you all can give, it is a very nice 60.

Don't count on using the clutch driver alignment marks for perfect alignment. If the clutch driver has been replaced, the driver might not be marked exactly as the old one. Aligh the clutch driver with the weight at the back and the right hand piston at the front.

A correct clutch driver is not exactly what you are looking for. The clutch counter balance needs to be EXACTLY 180 degrees off from the flywheel counterbalance or she will vibrate. Also, a flywheel on loose and worn splines can cause it but are more likely to cause a knock. Not sure what you mean by flywheel being in time. When #1 is at TDC are the machanical marks on the flywheel and housing lined up exactly. It could be electrically timed okay but still off in mechanical balance.

Hmmmm, buyer beware. I hope your buddy looked deep into the tractor, test ran it and the price reflecs it's condition. The classic case of two cylinder vibration after clutch work often occurs. When the driving disk location arrow wasn't lined up wiht the crank's location arrow.

I agree with the previous messages. We just went through this on another board with a 52 G. The owner had inadvertenly installed the clutch drive disk 180 degrees off. Once the clutch drive disk was properly alligned and installed the vibration problem was solved. I'm willing to bet that the drive disk is installed incorrectly.
