I just drug in another "project", it has been setting for a number of years, and unfortuanately the owner had passed away and the kids had no idea as to why he parked it.The engine is loose( 6 cyl diesel ) after setting a battery on it and cranking it over I realized the starter seemed weak, I tried to crank it over again and it started making a terrible "metal to metal" noise in the rear section of the engine. I pulled the starter to find the nose cone missing off the starter, and traces of a earlier weld / brazing job that did"nt hold. After sliding the bellhousing back and retrieving the nosecone that was rolling around the pressure plate I think I have found a bad pilot bearing too. Is there any thing I need to be concerned with as far as trying to start it after I get it back together? The crank has no up and down motion in it, and seems to have about 1/32" endplay at most or 0.060 roughly. The rear seal shows signs of wear / leaking, and the oil had a little smell of diesel in it which I figure is the roosa master pump leaking into the engine..? Other than that I"m hoping the rest is ok, I hope to get the starter back first of the week.

It was on his farm that I learned to use the combination hand clutch and brake on a John D
