Calling for rain the next few days (raining now) so no hay cutting for a while.
Behind on mechanic work so figured I'd finally pull the engine off of my 4000SU to replace the crankshaft that broke.
350 hours since it was completely overhauled, crank was turned .010 on the mains and .020 on the rods.
Previous owner has stumped the oil pan and broke the oil pump off.
You can see the large fillet radius on the replacement crank
Notice the smaller radius on the crank that had been turned
Even though the machine shop ground the crank wrong I'm going to have to eat the whole cost to replace the crank.
Said it had been too long.
I'll be posting this it the ford section also.
