ronsway That is a tough build even for seasoned mechanics because it is so hard to find the parts ,bore and crank work is crtical to a lasting build plus if you haven't had hands-on experience with old fashioned ways you just have to go to bolters. It's hard to explain it to you. I haven't had to deal with a shimmed rod since 1982,has run and done hard work all that time (wood hauler) still just fine. Have 2 a 216 and 235 48 2-ton. Now once it's fixed you'll swell with pride !!
