Hi all...
Wealth of information here and I thank you all for the extremely informative posts. However, the more I read the more questions I have. I am going to do some clutch work next week on my old 126 and figured I would rebuild the motor while Im in there. This was my grandfathers tractor that he bought new so I know it hasn't been rebuilt yet. My question is.. I'm going to order one of the Master rebuild kits off Ebay

... and wondered should I pull the balance gears out of it while torn down?
... should I precision balance the crank/rod/piston assembly while it's at the machine shop?
... should I go ahead and order everything at .10 (piston/rod) or assume its
good to stay standard sizes?
... do i need crank bearings also or should they be okay to reuse?
I believe there is a ton of carbon build up on the valves now and my flame in the muffler problem will be solved with the new valve job.
Am I missing anything here?
Thanks so much in advance for any info you can add. I want to do the job right the first time so I don't tear anything up. This tractor means the world to me and I'd like it to run at least another 40 years. Maybe my grandson will think it's as cool as I do.
