Fixing hole in side of block

All bolts hit with wire wheel in bucket of diesel

Spent 30 minutes wet sanding the journal that threw the rod, its not as smooth as the other journals, but good enough

All bolts are in sections of where they come from, the bags are lableled: gears, crankcase, engine to tractor, bell housing all together with their hardware

What you see is all the bolts for the rebuild cleaned

dump one section in diesel bucket, hit it with wire wheel on drill, spinning the diesel, take them all out, put them on the table together, did this task to all bolts

Video: a section of bolts being hit with wire wheel in bucket of diesel, do not worry about the details, keep them together in areas they belong in sections as you took them out

Starter damage, bend metal back and jb weld patch

Removed cap on starter, tried to bend the metal with chisels, couldnt

Cut damaged with cutting wheel

Hit area of damage with file, then compressed air, then cleaned entire area and sprayed diesel, cleaned inside of starter, hit it with compressed air

Made a gasket for the cover, put the two remaining screws and put it back on starter

Cut random piece of metal roof, bent it the shape of the damage, used sharpies to label where to grind, shaped it to the damaged area

cleaned everything with alcohol, put gloves on, mixed jb weld, caked onto patch, put patch onto starter, used spatula to evenly distribute

Having clean parts is really nice, but are they all actually serviceable/usable parts

I have the tool to remove that bearing, but it is late, and I am tired, I will take a picture in the morning and post it. I remember buying it in 1958 and using it once to get a job done.
