John Deere 66 Tecumseh flywheel

[rakos]

My 66 is equipped with a Tecumseh 6hp. The flywheel is cracked at the shaft (I may have torqued it too much).
Can this be repaired? Or get a good used one (Ottawa, canada)
Thanks, John

John, I would say you need another flywheel. I use a 1/2 impact wrench when tightening the nut and never had that happen. Might have to try ebay for a used one. --Ron
