He Tightens Flywheels On Deere 2-Cyl. Tractors
 ✖  |
If you’ve got a loose flywheel on your 2-cylinder Deere tractor, Allen Machine Works is the place to go. They are located in Pennsylvania under new ownership, originally located in Tennesse. They make cast iron replacements for some and rebuild others.
“We cast new ones for the popular 720 and 730 diesels,” says Lamar Horning, owner of Allen Machine Works. “For others, if there are no cracks, we can rebuild them, replacing the OEM hub with our Steel Draw-In Taper-Loc Hub.”
The new hub replaces the bolts originally used to tighten flywheels to the shaft. On older flywheels, the bolts have often been tightened so far and so hard that they crack the cast “ears” they extend through.
New flywheels carry a suggested retail price of $800 to $1,000. Rebuilds usually cost around $450. With shipping both ways, a rebuild can cost $600 to $700.
“Once the ears crack, there is no way to tighten the flywheel, and once the splines wear, the flywheel won’t stay tight,” explains Horning. “Two slots in the Taper-Loc Hub allow it to tighten down on the shaft as the tapered flywheel is pushed onto it.”
Horning explains that the process requires precisely following instructions. He includes two pages of directions with his product.
