Strange engines

[Gho11]

I have a tecumseh engine off a pressure washer it has a hexagon output shaft i need to know where to get an adapter if im even describing it rite

Hello and welcome...
That would be defiantly an older model... Never seen a hex shaft pto...
Options for that are slim, you might be able get a new shaft to replace that, to accomondate a clutch....
But best options are to get a predator engine from your harbour freight... Typically $99... Add oil and gas... Good to go...

That pic doesn't do it justice, I can't even see the shaft...

Oz, can you do that thing where two things become one thing?

And Gho, how bout some better pictures and a measurement of the shaft.

 

[OzFab]

Done & done...

One thread per subject please...

Probably going to have to find or make an adapter.
Or replace the crankshaft.

The model/serial number might help find us find parts.

Its an h35-45691x tecumseh it runs an i only paid 30

Maybe something like this.
Tecumseh Crankshaft 32555B
I don't know that it fits for sure.
Google Tecumseh H35 crankshaft and see where that gets you.

Looks like you could make an adaptor out of a Socket that fits your hex...

It'd be easier if you could find a socket that has an exact 3/4" or 1" O.D. to fit the bore of common sized clutches. Then you could machine a keyway in the socket. I cant tell if the center of your crank has a threaded retaining bolt-hole or not; but if not, you could drill and tap one to bolt the socket, and possibly also the clutch on.

There'd be some other details to work out, but let us know if you find a suitable socket and want to give it a shot. I'd suggest using a 6-point (non-chrome plated) Impact socket that's at least 2-1/2" (overall) deep, for a 3/4" bore clutch, Or at least 3" deep to fit 1" bore clutches.

Ok so might scrap that plan has anyone used or heard about kohler magnum engines? Yay or nay?

I say modify the crank on that engine and run it, just for the giggles and being able to point and say “look what I did”.

Kohler engines are great and have a great reputation but there is some dismay with the Courage series currently, blowing head gaskets and such...

Most major manufacturers these days often produce a few lemons, each and every one. That being said, I had a 3.5 Tecumseh that ran like a raped ape!
