I forgot to say that I checked the cam end play (was in spec. .008). The piston don't show excessive wear and the cylinder was miced good. There is no PTO on it and the basket key was tight. So, the one thing that I didn't do was the plastic gauge thing to check rod clearance. I'll get some tomorrow, we have a NAPA, Advance Auto Parts, Autozone and Carquest within 5 miles. Guess I got it covered.
Thanks a lot for your help.
