The 582 restoration has officially began!

If it is the proper PTO it should center itself. I have never seen a front PTO that the base (#1) had to be centered. Sam is correct, they all have a lip/tangs that sits in the seal bore to center it. Did you line it up?

I believe that that PTO butts up a lip on the crank. No bushing required. I don't see one listed in the parts book anywhere either. I have a motor sitting here, but I'm not taking it apart just to look.....

There is actually cut outs on the mounting plate of #1 that go over parts of the block. So I'm not sure what my problem is, but if those are right it should be centered. Right? If you look at the top left hand corner, just above the pto part #1, that is the cut out I'm talking about. The pto was on the opposed 16 Briggs I pulled out of the 582. Thanks again for your guy's help.

What did the new engine come out of? Is the crank the same length?

[J-Mech]

If your using the PTO off the 16 on the 18, it may not work. May need a spacer or something.

I'm with CubDieselFan, crank looks too long.

When all the pto parts are on the shaft, the shaft sits flush with the outer part of the pulley. The guy I got the engine from ran a log splitter with it. If it was on anything else I'm not aware of it. I guess I'll just try cleaning up all the pto parts and see where that leaves me. Thanks

Why not measure the old engine crank and the newer one, then at least you'll know they are the same, or not.

Hello, you do not want #2 rubbing #1 or off goes the plastic covering the coil. May need a shim on the crank behind #2. I used that briggs pto on a 1"mag18 out of a roper in my 582 a couple years ago. Everything works good, i maybe need to revisit the rubbing part. BECAUSE this year i learned about the rubbing part when i put a ch18 in a 682 and used the pto off the kt motor. I'm afraid to say anything on here anymore for fear of getting flamed when people don't quite understand your way of thinking or expressing. Mike

Both shafts are measuring the same @ 2 13/16".
