[AJD] ok to start 830?

[Louis]

Why would you want to run the tractor with the clutch and pulley out of
the tractor?  Not a good idea.  The oil would be the least of my worries
about running the tractor in that condition.  It would be unsafe with
the exposed end of the crankshaft.  I am not sure on an 830, but the
driver disk on other 2 cylinder tractors helps balance the crankshaft.
I think you are asking for trouble if you start the engine without the
pulley and clutch in place.

I have the clutch and related parts (Pully wheel and gears) off my JD830
(2 
cylinder version).  While i am working on this project, can I safely run
the 
tractor?  Or will there be oil flying out everywhere??

Thanks,  Kreig
