Here is a sneak peek at the new tractor. The engine is finished. The steel crank caused a number of clearance issues. It hit the cam shaft in several places and had to be ground and polished a bit to fit properly. I cannot believe the difference in weight between the steel and cast crank. The steel crank weighs 2 to 3 times as much as the cast crank.
The orange paint is just what they had available at the shop. I have decided to name it Crusher.
