I have a few shop manuals, but the pictures are pretty grainy and was wondering if anyone on the web had some good (color preferred) pictures of taking apart or putting back together a WD-style engine?

Best to return to the front page after each view, in order not to get lost. http://home.comcast.net/~old_allis/index.html Mike Fischer has many pics in his album. http://s1243.photobucket.com/albums/gg556/Mike_Fischer/Facebook/   [Reply]  [No Email]

Currently just going head-deep into it so I can take it to a machine shop and check the block for cracks... But I noticed he plugged the rocker assembly with cork? What's that all about?   [Reply]  [No Email]

Take the crank out and you can drive the Sleeves out with a mallet and a block of wood.. be SURE to CLEAN the block (inside AND out) and scrub the Sleeve locations well... Setting the Bearing Clearances are what you MUST take your time with and be sure you know what you are doing.. A WD-45 crank is always a great BIG PLUS, if you can find a good one..makes much more power..and install a 9-spring engine clutch and pressure-plate.. Do this and she will carry the front-end in 2nd gear while plowing any time ya want..!! Ron..   [Reply]  [No Email]

You will need to be sure the areas where the Sleeves contact are well cleaned.. Ron..   [Reply]  [No Email]
