Hello, I have a 122 that i have been workig pretty hard in the nc mountains. One of the balance grenades has exploded. the damage to the balance gear pin bosses are:
the lower one is cracked with the pin and gear still on.
the upper palance gear was destroyed, the pin was bent about 10 degrees and the upper pin boss is broken out. the pin was in the pan with an assortment of other steel parts.When I inspected the block I figured i needed a new block. started looking and decided to get another tractor with a good 12 hp to get my tractor up and running.( Bought another 122 got it home it runs well) but after reading about the balance gears am thinking about rebuilding the original engine without the balance gears.? my question is can i install brass plugs or JB weld in the pin holes and put this engine back together? The cylinder walls and piston look good but i haven had a chance to measure anything? I would like to plug up the holes and reassemble the engine without the balance gears?
Thank you
Bill
oh no now i have two of them!
