Tracy, Is the engine still in the tractor or is it out on an engine stand??? If it is out then turn the engine over it all the work is easily done if it is still in the tractor, Then you will be doing a LOT of work while on your back! The journals can be cleaned up using Emory cloth strip. just take a 1 ft length and drape it over the journal and pull the Emory clothe back and forth as if you were pulling a shine clothe across the toe of your dress boots. Do this from different directions to dress up the entire journal. Then Mic each to determine what is your next step....having to pull the crank to have the journals and mains ground or can you go back together. The mains loosen all,, 3 or 6 good turns then one at a time take a main cap off, you should be able to spin out the old and spin in the new top part set in place the new bottom with main cap leave loose, repeat on 2nd, then 3rd, then 4th ect,ect. After all are in place,,, then slowly take up the slack. Making sure all parts are in the right place after you get it all snugged up the one at a time take of the caps, put in a small piece of plasti-gauge to check the amount of clearance. I would have pulled the engine had it been me, For If you are not positive about the condition of the crank it may be to do over later I am afraid!! I encourage you to get the engine out and do this work from the top not the bottom! let gravity work with you not against you. I am sure I may have forgotten something maybe someone will add or correct if I have advised incorrectly. Hope this helps Later, John A.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
