After trying to repair the broken upper shift rod on my 1962 RX-10 28hp by using a brass sleave and JB Weld, I've come to the conclusion that I need to seperate the powerhead from the leg in order to replace the upper shift rod. The "mickey mouse" repair only lasted a few days of use.<br /><br />My Clymer manual tells me to remove the carb, fuel pump, starter, flywheel, stator, etc. before removing the powerhead. Surely, this is not necessary, is it? <br /><br />Also, in addition to the seven screws that go from the leg up into the block, are there any other fasteners that need to be removed? The two nuts at the base of the crankcase? Anything else?<br /><br />Both the Clymer book and the parts catalog leave me unsure as to how I should proceed. If someone could please outline the steps for me I would really appreciate it. <br /><br />Thanks, John
<br /> good luck and keep posting
