Ok so I'm just taking the Acme A220 engine that broke on my rototiller and once I was able to get it out ad check over the clutch I soon realize its not like any others in any of the diagrams or how to instructional guides. I was looking it over to see where I could find a simply bolt to loosen to take it off but of course wouldn't that be too easy? I've attached a photo for everyone to see.
As you can see the only bolt I can find is an alan key bolt right in the center of the clutch where I'm guessing its attached to the crankshaft. I'm guessing I'll have to get this thing into a vice because its almost impossible to take it off by hand even with two people.
So this brought up a few questions for this newbie, if I can't find any parts for the acme being as they might be too expensive and I go with another briggs engine I have, how am I supposed to attach that clutch to the new engine? Especially if it needs to be attached from an alan bolt right into the core of the crankshaft. I looked the briggs one over and it has a hole in the center however its not threaded from what I can see. Does the engine conversion kit sold by Earth tools or bcs come with a newer clutch that might fit better with the the briggs?
I am totally new to this and just don't want any surprises before I throw down some money on a conversion kit and what not. Any assistance or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
