Awesome vid, Jude! :ThumbsUp:

Looks like frosty the snow man ..nice vid.
The oil pan does not have a flat bottom on it .Should be a deep sump oil pan on it,I hear you are suppose to get 30"...
Have fun!

Thanks Allen and Lew:beerchug:

Lew, it does have a large portion of the oil pan the sticks down from the rest of it, definitely not flat. Is this a good thing??

Yes It is a good thing you have an oil pan under your motor.hehehehe

I got the pto off the 124's engine, also pulled bearing, collar and flywheel pulley:bigeyes:. As you can see the pulley is pretty toasted, will be sourcing a new one:Sad: But it's nice to get all that stuff off finally!

Also took the thrower and front end off the 71 to fix loose flywheel pulley, and Lew was right:bigeyes:. The crankshaft key was toast, so I'm in the middle of replacing that and threadlock the set screws, have to get ready for the snow, calling for 8-12" here tomorrow night into monday morn:biggrin2:[/QUOTE]

WOW,that pulley is toast! I have a question,is it normal for thr PTO pulley to have two sets of set screws,one on top of the other? When i pulled the one off my 123 it had that,and i didnt know it. Needless to say i wasted a hour trying to figure out why it wouldent come off,now that i know it seems like a good idea:bigthink:

The top setscrew is a lock for the setscrew that holds to the shaft. Very normal. I have a 124 and a 107 with pulleys that bad. Im dreading pulling those off- but the good thing is not worrying about saving the pulleys!! :biggrin2:

2 sets of set screws is the norm. I just got a sweet email from a local guy up here in VT! He's got a 147 hood for $20, a pulley/pto basket for $20 and a seat off a 104(the white rubber with blue edging). Don't know the $ on the seat yet, also has a NF creeper for $175, pretty banging deals!!

Question: Would the 104's seat be correct on the 124?? I thought I saw a 124 with that seat on it??
