Just got a call today from my machine shop guy.
He informed me my crank rod journal were at .040 and looks like I need to find another crank or weld this one. Which he did not recommend.

If any one has a "good" crank for sale let me know. Please e-mail me a price and condition.

Thanks Tom

I'd get another opinion on welding that one. It's not that big of a tractor to start with. I had one welded up and reground on the 354 in an 1850 one time. Held up just fine.

Years ago my dad had the crank on his 5211 Zetor welded and reground and hasn't had a bit of trouble with it.
