Note to self: Release tension on Spring Assist before attempting to re-attach mowing deck. (Thought I would never get the deck back on and couldn't figure out why I had to press the hangers down into the eye bolts
.)
Kentucky Ken: Good to see you posting again, sorry about the heart attack. There are a few doctors I would like to punch as well. Your posts have more zip in them than the rest of ours put together.
Marlin: Welcome back. I was wondering how you were making out this weekend while working on my mower decks. Good to know the time off hasn't dampened your spirits.
Everyone: Don't worry, be happy! Life is what you make it.

Hi: Rain let up enough today to remove breather cover off Ol' CCO 4740. I found a quite broken up part that appears to be what would hold the intake valve and spring in place. Is this a single part, and if so, can it be replaced? Additionally, what type of a spring compressor do I need to replace the Valve / Spring retainer. Is there a locking collar to push into the groove on the valve to hold into place? Any guidance / Part Number references would be appreciated. Oh yeah, got the broken bolt out of the block with a Easy (Hard) out. Regards,
Mark

Jeremiah C. and everyone. Thank You for the welcome back. As for dampened spirits... forgive me for these following words. During my "absence", I've picked up some new catch-phrases. As those that truly "know" me always say... "Sometimes Marlin, you come up with some pretty neat sayings. And they ring true."
Due to all the recent diasters, I gave my CARE package to the Red Cross. Thus the reason that I can't care anymore about things.
When one realizes that in He**, everyday is a Monday that doesn't make life any easier.
Great pictures of Cubs and attachments. Keep them coming. Ya'all have a wonderful day. We had a little bigger than quarter size hail briefly about an hour ago. Off to work.

Tom (or anyone else),
So what is the purpose of the two springs on the rear rake/blade? Is it some sort of spring assist that isn't needed with hydro lift CC models? Or perhaps to keep the rake/blade from twisting or bouncing around? I'm using this with a 149.

Mark I don't have a picture of the keepers for a valve stem but there are two on each valve. they have a thick and thin ends. the thin end goes toward the head of the valve when you compress the valve useing something that looks like
put the keepers in and release the clamp, spring pressure holds everything together.

Dave R-
I'm not familiar with this special crank you speak of however the 86 has been repowered with a K241. The seller came down a little on the price (from 5 to 4) after telling me second gear was gone. I'm going to look at it today or tomorrow.

Dave, Wayne, it was the 86 that used the special crank. I seem to recall that it was an extended length for the PTO to clear the front axle.
Anyone here have an 86 that they could post some photos of the PTO area that shows the crank?
Brandon, good to hear that you have the old bearing off.

Yepper,
Kraig's right. The 86 had a longer crank to move the PTO forward to clear the axle and line up with the mule drive pulleys. The K241 replacement shouldn't be a problem. The 86's are harder to find. $4-500 seems awfully steep missing the original 8 horse thats hard to find and second gear gone. Good luck. Any pics?

Shane, thanks for confirming my recollection.
Now to back up a bit, I believe that Dave was hinting to Wayne that he should ask the seller if the original engine or any pieces of it are still around. If so, they should be included with the 86...
I think yall have talked me into going asap to see this tractor. I hope he has the 8hp but I think he may have bought it as is. I guess the 8hp must have had a different block configuration than the 10, 12, etc in order to need the special crank. I had a chance at a model 86 last year but the seller had beat it up pretty bad and I just let it go for that reason. He, too, wanted too much $. If the seller backs away from three Franklins I'll probably pass.
Thanks for all of the input.

Dave-
That's a great little valve spring compressor. Mr. Frank C. (the Maine Man) informed me of its existence last year sometime and I got mine from Amazon. I think it was only around $20. Before that I was using an old giant truck compressor that used the cam action. If I remember correctly that little compressor can get the exhaust valve out even with a stud there.

Wayne, 7 and 8 share a block, same as 10, 12 and 14.
The one I stole the picture had 12 dollars on it. I have one real similar it was my dads. In place of the black knob it had a single rod, now it has a nail. Works just fine.

Wayne,
I would see if the original engine is laying around. That would be awesome if it were! There are K181's around, but what makes the 86's motor hard to find is the crank. Other 8 horses would have too short of a crank and the PTO wouldn't line up. An 86 is still a lower production model. Good luck!
