Old 8/24 freebie...
Original Message   Sep 24, 2009 6:23 am
Hi all,

I was given an old Mastercraft (Cdn Tire) 8/24. The owner gave it to me because the engine was seized. I went to remove the pulleys, and the old Tecumseh wasn't seized at all. I got it running well enough within a few minutes, and I'll use it as a back up to my old Bolens.

The front gear case is completely sealed. It's a (sort of) clam shaped unit with no drain plug, no way to feed fluid in, or any grease nipple. I know my old Bolens well enough, but this is new to me. Are these things supposedly maintenance free? Can I crack it open and put the grease to it?

Thanks!

John
