I've got a SR flywheel with ring gear you can have cheap if you need it.

Sounds good where abuts are you located & what price are you thinking of ?

Do you know the internal diameter of the ring gear with a tape measure the lip on the st is 13.5 inches .

Did that flywheel sort you out Ron ?

Hi Chris sorry for the delay in replying, the flywheel worked great, the problem now is that it is clockwise rotation at the flywheel end & the gearbox I have is a Hurth for a marine st2 which is anticlockwise & the hurth wont run backwards as it wont engage the plates,

Sounds like your having fun, but I'm glad the flywheel was okay.

Many Hurth models can have the rotation reversed, it does involve dismantling the box but AIUI no new parts.

I was thinking about this ,It looks as if you turn the selector hub round the balls are being driven the opposite way & that will reverse the direction of the servo action. I looked in the parts list & there is no mention of different parts for different rotation. Does anyone know if this can be done.

I have stripped it down once to put new bearings & seals in as it had been in seawater for a while & to strip it again would not be a problem

Just an update to everyone who posted, ST2 now fitted & running with a big improvement in performance as expected but the exhaust is rather smokey so I think it is going to be heads off & injectors serviced. thanks for all your help.

Your persistence and willingness to do a bit of seat of the pants agricultural engineering is admirable Sir. I am glad you have a result for what seems not much money.

 

As well as providing an opportunity for the ghost of the lovely Tim to walk.
