50-shaped piece of rust (connecting rod bearing)

I looked at the connecting rod cap I took off the 50 and saw several grooves in the bearing. They are deep enough I can feel them with a fingertip, but just barely. Do you think it needs new rod bearings? Of course, they can't be changed with the engine stuck�8^(

The oil is a bit gritty and definitely needs to be changed. While I figure the block might need to be taken off first, are there any suggestions for cleaning out the main case?

After I had the cylinder block off, I removed the oil pump from the bottom and used a lot of diesel in a sprayer to clean out the crankcase. But from your pictures you probably need to have the crankshaft checked at a machine shop. Then you could use a hot water washer and spray with wd 40 afterwards to prevent rust. Haywood

Those bearings are probably ok to use if this is just a hobby tractor. Replace if you are planning on working or putting a lot of hours on it. Now that you have one rod loose, did you try to move the crankshaft? You can try a high lift jack on the starter ring gear, and see if it will move away from the disconnected piston. if it will, you may be able to use a round block of wood in the other piston to tap it and get it loose without any further dissassembly. Good Luck.

I HAVE SEVERAL GOOD USED SETS OF STD.BEARINGS,IN GREAT SHAPE,IF YOU ARE INTERESTED? YOU CAN USE A TWO QUART GARDEN SPRAYER WITH A MIXTURE OF GUNK SUPER CONCENTRATE AND MINERAL SPIRITS,JUST SPRAY IT DOWN AND SCRUB IT WITH A PARTS BRUSH.IT WORKS FOR ME!GOOD LUCK.
