The flywheel on my dad's 730 is loose and is working its way off the crank. Don't know how long he's been running it this way. When I drove it today, I shut it right down as soon
as I figured out what all the racket was, and then we towed the thing home with my faithful A. I've never seen this type of flywheel before. I shimmed and tightened the original
flywheel on this tractor when I was a kid, but that was made differently. It looks to me like the square thing in the middle is a nut screwed to a taper inside the flywheel. Am I
right? Do I just loosen or tighten the nut to loosen and tighten the flywheel? How close should it run to the, umm, block? The two bolts through the flywheel have had their nuts
welded. Is this typical for this center tightening system, or has someone buggered this up?
It looks simple to me, but I'd like to hear from someone with experience with one of these before I learn as I go. Don't have a service manual for this tractor. Tain't mine.
