Like I said, it will fit, but back when the factory re-designed the 3
main to make
a bigger cheaper 1725, they had problems with breaking cranks.
I think the solution was a bigger flywheel and the HB.

I bought one of these, and it is indistinguishable from the OEM piece,
plus it is made of a better material "nodular iron", which should last
longer.
It fit right, and works just fine. Just follow the included
instructions to
assure that you dont break this one too.
Torque is key.
