Hh100 Rebuild

[esbbent]

I am working on rebuilding the Techumseh HH100 out of my MF10. The tractor is a1966 model, first year of production. The tractor has a metal dash but a plastic nose piece. As far as I can tell tractor is all original except the tires and seat. The engine is a early HH 100 with an internal coil and points. I didn't document the engine teardown. This article will be on putting the engine back together. Today I have been cleaning up the block since I have to wait on parts. It has taken a lot of foaming engine cleaner and scrapping to get it to this point. Still has Massey silver showing up.I use the die grinder and finger wheel to clean up any area a gasket area.

Thanks for starting this for us to follow, Ted! What is the material on that finger wheel? Never seen one before.

It's kind of like a hard plastic. I have several also, both green and yellow for different abrasive levels. They last pretty long in my experience.

Like Tahoe said it is a hard plastic. There are 3 different grades, yellow, green, and white. If I remember correctly yellow has the stiffest bristles and white has the softest. If I am working on aluminum or an engine head I will use the white color wheels.

Thanks for filling me in on those, Marty and Ted! Will have to look for some. Who is the manufacturer?

I know 3M/Scotch Brite make some. I do not know if there are any aftermarket ones available or not. The last ones I bought a couple of years ago at the Knoxville Nationals. A tool vendor from MN sets up a table selling different tools, if I remember correctly $3-4 a piece is what I paid.

Sounds like a good price and what a cool place to buy them, Ted! Never made it to Knoxville, unfortunately.

I'll be following this thread also and it reminds me I have a couple of HH100's in my storage area they were runners just removed to install a HH120

I didn't make it to Knoxville this year, to many different things going on. Usually it is 4-5 trips during the season and Nationals.

Maybe some year we will get there! I wouldn't even mind going to the late model nationals, as getting seats is considerably easier.
