torque tube and a plan???

I have a hand start B that I have torn "all the way down". A guy bave me a torque tube that has the starter hole. I have been comparing the tubes and noted a couple differneces. This one may not matter but the notch cut out of the top of the bell housing on the "new " one is a "V" where as the one the one currently have onthe tractor has o much more refined notch ( like a 'U") - could the V be hand cut by someone or is that just how they were? The sides of the new one have 3 threaded bosses on one side and 2 threaded bosses on the other ( about in the middle)- the one I have does not have have those ( implement mounts??).

The plan I have is to put the new one on so if I gather parts eventually it would have electric start. would it reqire a new flywheel of just add a ring gear ( is there enough room ? ) I know there is other parts ( generator- have the threaded holes in the block, tool box,battery box...) but me and my dad like to look for parts ..... Or should I just leave it as hand start?


thanks for you thoughts.
 
You will need a different flywheel. The new torque tube should work if the bolt pattern on both ends are correct or you know that it is definitely from a B or C allis. I think you have the right idea on the reason behind the differances. Personally I would not convert it but I am young and do not mind crank start yet. If you plan on using it frequently, selling it relatively soon or your "torn all the way down" means you already have the tractor split or one step away from that then you might as well convert it. You already did the hard part.
 
If it was me I would definitely convert.
I am still capable of hand starting but it is not the most fun thing to do, especially if it does not start on the first or second pull.
Besides, it is a challenge looking for and locating the parts to make life easier. Go for it
 
That torque tube would be for a newer B or a CA which would work fine. If you were close I would swap torque tubes with you and throw in a flywheel for that would take a ring gear. Might even toss in a few other parts.
