Flywheel
There are two types of flywheels available for the MTD
engine. An aluminum flywheel and a 3-piece cast iron fly-
wheel. See Figure 7.22.
NOTE: The procedure for removing the flywheel is
the same for both aluminum and cast iron
flywheels.
To remove the flywheel:
1. Remove the recoil assembly by following the steps
described in Chapter 6: Starter.
2. Lift the fan shroud off of the three studs that locate
it. See Figure 7.23.
3. Loosen the flywheel nut until it is a couple of threads
past the end of the crank shaft using a 19mm
wrench. See Figure 7.24.
