It will if the back end of the crankshaft has been drilled for the pilot bushing, some were not.
This one is just no bushing,,,,, yet. Any other secrets before i throw all my new parts at it?
The pilot bushing ID should be measured after driving it into the hole.
The pilot bushing ID can shrink after driving it in the hole. Then if the bushing ID is too small, and you put the Cub together, the clutch shaft won't stop turning when you push the clutch pedal down.
Then the gears grind when trying to shift them.
Below is a page from the Cub and LoBoy service manual, showing the running clearance for the pilot bushing, at Spline and clutch shaft.
If the clearance is too small, the bushing needs reaming to make it bigger.
I sent you a message.
Thanks for the info Glen, I will have to digest this all after the Miller lite wears off.The pilot bushing ID should be measured after driving it into the hole.
