Hello All!!! I have a situation that I'd like to bounce off of the list before attempting repairs on a cylinder jug.
In the process of installing my rebuilt 494, I discovered stripped threads on one hole of the pto exhaust port. The original 8mm x 1.0mm threads were apparently stripped in the past, repaired with something in the 6mm/.25 inch range, which has now stripped. 6mm and 1/4" bolts feel like they're threading up, but when it's time for them to really torque down, they just keep turning. What's the best way to deal with this? Do another repair with a thread smaller than the original 8mm? Drill the hole out and tap it at 9mm x 1.0mm? Thanks in advance for any and all assistance, Kenneth Kirkland #18 MiDiv / Arkansas Region (77) 1991 KBS Mk.
