Bent WD connecting rod???

[JiminIowa]

I've been tearing a stuck WD apart and found that the #3 connecting rod has a noticable bend to it. Is it supposed to be that way? Looking from underneath it appears to make a curve to meet the center of the wrist pin. Jim.

should be straight. not uncommon to bend rod or valve when pull starting a "stuck" tractor.

Who sells connecting rods for a WD? Are used available?
