Casing numbers on 1961 Cub.

Featured Replies

Guys,

Got a centre casing on my Cub that’s past it’s sell buy date.

Im looking for a replacement, the replacement I’ve found has the same E4087 number as mine  , but mine is stamped underneath that as AM 1, the replacement is AM 2.

They look identical but that’s from a comparison of photos , not in person.

Will the casings be the same, I’m assuming the AM number is probably a casting batch and the part number is the E4087.

Thanks.

Just checked a few cases My left crank case has AM2 while the right is just AM and are a matched pair The outer clutch and timing cases are marked AM2  The inner timing case is AM1 What this is I do not know batch or type of alloy used?

  

Just checked some pistons and they are marked AM and AM 2 The timing cases are three different types and are marked the same but different E part numbers

Sounds like these are just casting numbers and not matching case numbers. If line boring and other matching of cases has been carried out then I would expect to see after casting markings and not cast in markings. Complicated aint they these Cub devices!

I have several crank cases and the numbers are stamped on next to the joint underneath So match up after boring

Give me a Sherpa engine any day of the week and I’ve not even started rebuild this Cub engine yet. Anticipating the air being rather blue when I start ?????????????

Might be blue after you’ve rebuilt and fire it up....oil smoke.

It’ll be interesting, just ordered a load of parts, the engine rebuild should begin Monday if the parts arrive.

Wheels frame and suspension are done, just that lump in the middle.
