Swapping blade guard on TS460

[BroncoRN]

I cannot figure out how to get that center bearing assembly out of the guard. Any suggestions?

center guard? sure you dont mean output shaft

 

[backhoelover]

need a remove the axial cam ring. then unscrew the nut off the v pulley. you will need a small punch to help hold it

 

[backhoelover]

then remove the woodruff key, then the washer from the shaft. then tap out the output shaft

 

[backhoelover]

sorry you have to remove the two straight screws and spring after the woodruff key, there will also be a rubber ring also

 

[backhoelover]

then the tear drop looking bearing housing should come off. when you get it on the table you will need to the internal snap ring and take arbor press 4119 893 7200 or a old socket to press out the bearing

i can email you the service manual

 

[backhoelover]

assembly is different kinda weird.

 

[backhoelover]

there is a ring between the two ball bearing so be careful

Is that for the blade guard? My blade guard is shot...split up both the front and the back. That is what I was looking to replace.

I was also a little hasty in ordering a replacement carb. Turns out I had to swap top and bottom carb covers, both linkages, what a PITA.

 

[backhoelover]

Send me you email add and I'll send you the manual

 

[backhoelover]

That happens with the carb sometime

Well I am at a bit of a loss now - replaced the carb and now it won't start. If I pour gas in the cylinder it will fire off after 3-4 pulls. I took the carb apart and there is gas in the carb. I don't get it what am I missing???
