Curious question regarding the installation of a torque converter (GTC in particular) on a H50, 1" pto shaft. A have a model 30 converter going on a H50. Has anyone used this combination?

So, I finished machining a collar with a key way and a set screw. The depth of the collar was adjusted to bring-in the pulley alignment which was never correct due to the missing shoulder on the crank. Absolute PITA as this was not expected.

I had to revise my posts here because I couldn't understand what was going on with this situation. After looking at photos of other Tecumseh engines it was clear this crank wasn't the same P/N as what I'd been seeing. Without a shoulder, the shaft bearing/bushing gets squashed against the crank by the spacer included in the TC kit. Additionally, the spacer didn't provide for proper alignment of drive & driven pulleys. The collar I made solved both problems.

Anyway, sounds like I'm talking to myself on this so I'll file this one.
