I say hair like because their shape reminds me of a hair on a counter or something. I can feel them with my nail. So what now ? could they be just cracks in the finish ? Like I said in previous postings... the crank had a ton of play in it, I'm fearing that they might be stress cracks. This tractor is only used for mowing the lawn and doesn't see much use. Because it's the front journal or bearing surface, do you guys think I can get away with it ??? As always, thanks for your advice.
