The 1978 - 1979  932006's started with s/n 000101. The Tecumseh  engine was an HS50 - 67008B. Looks like you have an original.  The '79 - '80 unit used spec number  67008C, the Ariens s/n's started with 015001. They're both 24".  (ST504)

Hold the hex shaft with another wrench.

richb,
Was there a muffler locking plate on the muffler at one time?  That keeps the bolts from backing out. Post your spec number so someone can look up a possible p/n.

Is there play between the throttle shaft and carb body? You'll never get the carb set right  if there's air getting around the throttle shaft.  It will keep running lean and "hunting".

 The Tec "dial indicator has an offset "foot" on it to allow contact with the piston,  and a threaded collar that screws into the spark plug hole. To use a typical dial indicator you will have to remove the head to take measurements. 

Take a close look at that carb and post that spec number and we'll see what other suggestions come up.

richb,

My old book shows:

1970 - 1971  910962     s/n 000001 & up
1971 - 1972  910962     s/n 021500 & up


1971-1972    910995     s/n 000001 - 080000

Looks like there's a few missing digits on the tractor s/n. Look real close, maybe they're stamped on the frame.
