I was able to get the PTO bearing removed finally with the right tool and the S/G crank pulley. I went ahead and disassembled the engine and got all of the tolerances checked. As I thought a .010/.010 kit will fix everything up nicely. I was hoping I would get to use my tools again. Take a look at the PTO end of the crank shaft. It looks to have had a shaft installed over the original crank surface to compensate for the ID of the PTO bearing and lock and pulley. It looks be be pinned and seems to be quite solid. Is this something anyone has seen before? From measuring I will have to cut the very tip off of the crank so that if we use a PTO later the bearing can be placed correctly. Not much else out of the norm that I can see. If you see something odd feel free to speak up. You will see what looks like sand in the cylinder on a couple of pics. I have no idea what that is unless is dust, because I wiped it clean, LOL.

Piston and rod looked to be in good shape:


Bearing surface looked good:


First time I have seen a bolt head lock for the rod bolts.


PTO end of Crank Shaft. You can see the added sleeve or what I think has been added:




Need to cut the excess off of the crank end:


Crankpin surface looked really good, but a bit too much wear:


No crosshatch that I could find except at the very bottom:




Will replace the valve guides:
