I just pulled down my 144 waukashaw to find why noisy. A year ago I replaced the sleeves pistons wrist pins and rod bearings new 4 new valves and all new guides. Did not replace main bearings at that time as did not remove crank. Have them out now but wear is not very significant and have very good oil pressure hot or cold. The knock type rattle goes away when engine is put under load. When I removed the timing cover can find no significant wear on crank gear or camshaft gear so thrust does not seem to be a problem. Rocker arms have also been refaced when valves installed.
About all that is left is tappets and crankshaft but noise is lower on the block when listening with a hardwood dowel. Crank is presently at shop to get mic job to verify no flat spots but don't think so. Any suggestions. Thanks and MERRY CHRISTMAS to ALL. Paul in Ontario

Thanks for the info The wrist pins were properlly sized and all new at that point I am inclined to believe i have a back lash problem and will likely end up replacing cam gear and crankshaft gear while apart. This tractor really looked good outside when I bought but was in tough shape under the covers. But that is part of restoring tractors back to near new condition and having 18 of them everyone has been a different experience. Thanks again for the info guys.

Did you re-bush the connecting rods and have them properly sized to fit wrist pins at machine shop. If not, and your front pully is ok, thats probably were your hearing the bottom end noise. Wrist pin bushings are just as important as your rod and main bearing. With new piston kit(added compression), all the load is now on the wrist pin and if they werent sized properly, they will knock somewhat, especially when not under load. I dont like the old style two piece wrist pin bushings, i find a one peice makes a much better fit. You just need to drill out the oil hole on these after installation. Good luck anyways:

Super 55 has a one piece cast pulley. The tin pulley ended with the fleetline tractors. When you said the timing gears looked O. K. I take it that was a physical inspection and not a check of backlash with dial indicator. They will not wear even. Worn timing gears especially the cam gear will make a bottom end noise.
