brtx, Roundness of the bushings -- my cheap caliper indicates they are ok, when I pick up my block, head, and crank, probably this week, I am going to have the machinist measure them exactly so I know for sure. If out of tolerance I'm sure they can be reamed -- but -- The 460 Hi Utility is a "relatively" rare tractor, I'm really not interested in looking for another one since this one can be fixed, the numbers match, etc, etc. As to oil pressure, I have not run the tractor that much, I don't even think the oil pressure gauge worked. I bought it to fix up as a hobby. Compression was low on all cylinders, excessively low on two, the wet test indicated it needed at a minimum, rings, lot of smoke out of the breather tube. Decided to check everything out, crank was out of tolerance, camshaft was worn, etc, about $1000 worth of engine parts, including a complete engine kit, rebuilt cam and lifters, excluding the rockers, and machine work, etc. The tractor will be (Is) totally disassembled, cleaned to bare metal, all parts will be painted separately. All hydraulic lines etc are removed for painting. When I get done the only thing mechanically wrong will be that the transmission gears are worn, but not enough to justify replacing them. THAT is why I am trying to figure out whether to replace the rockers, or have them machined, or whatever. There is "only" $700 more that I have to spend to get new rockers, shafts, and pushrods, that is a relatively small percentage of my total restoration cost, but it's still $700. I apologize for all the babbling. At this point I am more concerned about the variation and wear of the individual rocker tips, will try to find out when I pick my other parts up.

Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
