The rings I pulled off of the tractor had huge gaps, some as much as close to 1/8" .
It has been about 25 years since I rebuilt a motor of any kind and would appreciate some feedback here.
There seems to be one spot in the rotation that is causing a bit of resistance more than in other areas. This is a 1949 8N, with the thicker cylinders.
