Ahhhh, one of those little problems..... There isn't much way to tell them apart that I am aware, unless you can get a very accurate measure of the crank throw. VERY VERY accurate. The 4.2" crank will have .1" less throw than the 4.4" crank. I don't know if I'd even attempt that stunt myself, and I've got as much evil engineer in me as anyone. A tenth of an inch is not much, especially when you can't get an accurate position to measure from. One suggestion I could make would be to project a straight edge down the centerline of the main journals, and try to take a measure from that to the outside of the rod journals with a large caliper, then subtract the radius of the rod journal. That should give you the crank throw, which doubled will equal the stroke. I'm into some very "free thinking" right now. Take it for what it's worth. Perhaps a better alternatitive, if you don't mind the work, is to drop each crank in a block, and assemble a rod and piston to it, then measure the stroke it produces. That will give an accurate measure with depth gauges, but it's a bit of work. I'm sure there are casting numbers as well, but I have no idea how to decipher what they mean. I hope you don't have two used cranks sitting side by side on the floor..... Good luck. Rod

Tuning-Up Your Tractor: Secondary Ignition Wires and Distributor - by Curtis Von Fange. In our last episode we spent the entire day checking out the spark plugs. Is that efficency? Actually, it took more time to explain than it really did to do the inspection. At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi. That is well within a
