Old Style Touch Contol BlockRebuild

[joey j]

I am rebuilding an old style touch control block Casting number 351686R1 on a 1948 Cub. The old style has some significant differences from the new style. I have searched this sight as best I could for a step by step repair complete with pics.like troop has done for the new style but cannot seem to find anything. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Otherwise I will document my rebuild and post it as I go.
Thanks,
Joey J.

Joey, Welcome to the Forum. I did see another "How to" but the pictures are not there. If you would take pics, etc. as you do yours it would be a welcome addition. When complete, one of the moderators can lock it in the "How to" forum.

Hello Bob. I also saw the "How to" without the pictures and was disappointed. I rebuilt a new style block a couple of years ago on grandpas' 60 model using troops tutorial. It was excellent. Luckily I took pictures while taking the old style apart and I think I have everything correct. If you don't mind let me know what you think when I get the info. posted.
Thanks,
Joey

I have done a couple TC rebuilds, and just happen to have saved that How To as both a word document and a PDF file. I do not know how to post either of these onto the forum, but would be happy to send the files to anyone who wants them if you PM me.

Welcome to the forum from Arkansas. Looking forward to your post on the rebuild.

Sorry all...as it turns out, the TC Rebuild procedure I had copied is for the later block. That How To is still on the forum's How To list WITH photos.

My apologies for false promises!!

Great job Joey. I'm sure one of the moderators will put that into the "How to" forum. I'm printing off a copy to have for the next one I do or help with.

I had to make one of the valve seat tools. I used some (7") of 1" x 3/16" bar stock I had in my bin and spent about 5 minutes on the "precision" grinding to make a 1/16" blade. I used a large adjustable wrench on the flat and had plenty of leverage.
