Went to start the tractor this afternoon, and something sounded funny as soon as I started cranking...
I don't know why, but I thought about the pushrods, and yep they were bent. two of them were...
Anyway looking for replacements new/used and I see there is a 1/4" version and a 5/16" version. Mine measure 0.128" so I assume they are the 1/4" version. In looking around it looks like I need a different adjuster to use the 5/16 version
what years/models should I be looking for for:
1. The original 1/4" versions
2. The newer (I assume) 5/16" version with the different adjuster.
It looks like the 5/16 are available new, but not the 1/4" ones, but the adjuster is available new, but is $25 each
Trying to figure out the best path forward so I can get back to work...
Funny, as it ran fine last week...
Also, it appears that I will have to remove the tank / sheetmetal to get them out - is this correct? - any tricks for fishing them out?
Thanks in advance!
