Title: Need an IXA3 front cover
Post by: Tractornut on December 22, 2005, 01:45:16 AM

Anybody got a junk IXA3 motor with a good front cover? The motormount bolt holes have stripped out, been drilled & tapped oversized and are stripped out again.

Don't hit the panic button!. What size has it been tapped to? What size is the correct bolt. Will a Helicoil work. If not do you know about Irontite?

John, whoever repaired it (and I use that term loosely!) drilled and tapped it to 5/8s inch THROUGH THE MOUNT AND INTO THE COVER! I can make a spacer to downsize the hole in the mount, but the cover is stripped too big for a helicoil. What is Irontite, I never heard of it? I've got a couple other stripped bolts to worry with. Something like that might work.
Walter, if you have one e-mail me, and we'll see what we can work out. Merry Christmas, Guys! Rick.
