Jeff, I can tell you from recent experience that you are going to have a LOT of trouble finding parts. I have just went through a total Waukesha rebuild and it was extremely difficult to find parts. The rods are babbited as you said, so unless you have them repoured they are useless if the crank is worn (mine was!). What I did was to get a set of rods from an "FC" engine which is a later vintage. It has replaceable bearings, although they are getting very hard to find. Then I tried for quite some time to find oversized mains. They are nowhere to be found. So I had to have them repoured. All told I will have a couple of grand in this rebuild due to having to scavenge so many parts to make it right. If I had it to do all over again, it would remain a static display tractor and would never run!
