Scotty: I sure have since I hired a guy to do just that. Many years ago I had a Case(sorry)300 with a backhoe loader. I was working a new basement when a rod let go. After getting it home and the pan dropped, I felt that the whole problem was just that single rod. It was a biggey job to take the crank out right in the busy-busy season so I started calling around the Mpls\StPaul metro. One NAPA machine shop told me to call their retired machinest as he could grind a rod journal while in place. That sounded great(and quick). He had me take all sparkplugs out(no compression) and take out the starter ahead of time. He arived and placed a 110Volt electric driven device into the starter hole that was geared down a lot. This thing slowly turned the engine over. Maybe only one round per minute when turned on. He placed a clamp type unit over the rod journal. This thing had a high speed grinding wheel inside it. There was a hand turned adjustment on the outside. When all was turned on, the engine slowly turned at maybe one RPM and he kept adjusting untill he heard the grinding being done. He would grind a while and stop to remove grinder and inspect and measure. In about less then two easy going hours he was done and handed me the new bearings he had just check fitted. The cost was reasonable and I was happy as heck to advoid down-time. Never did have trouble with that rod or oil pressure. It was a job well done as far as a working tractor is conserned. I'd hire that guy again for any engine work. ralph
