Nice job, Kenny. We are just as excited as you are. It’s nice to see light at the end of the tunnel.

Seeing the size of those bores and the throw on that massive crank make me think the D is going to be a real torque monster. Thanks for the video, Kenny.

Yessir. The D's were built to PULL and for belt work. This one clearly did a lot of PULLING in its day judging by the condition of the rear differential and other components.

Exiting watching it come together. Fitting parts is fussy work but needs to be done.

The crankshaft and connecting rods will likely be the fussiest of all the areas.

I installed NOS crankshaft, main bearings and rod bearings. I set the bearings with plasti-gauge. I think it is too tight. With new rings, block bored and sleeved and pistons fitted to the bored, I can barely turn it over even with the head off.

Kenny, you're definitely making great progress! Those parts you are assembling look awesome. And I can tell you are in your element, wrenching away in your garage. You might have that tractor ready for Rollag. Keep up the amazing work and look forward to your next video! Tractor on! 🚜 👍

Didn't make it to Rollag - but now we are trying to have it done before winter!

Your project is really inspirational for some D engine work I've been contemplating. When you wanted to drive the cam further into the gear, my first thought was to put a washer inside the RH cam bearing to make it press the camshaft further. Then remove it before final installation of course.
@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch2 ай бұрын
I don't think that would have worked. Likely would have needed a stack of washers. Inside those cam bearings is not a flat surface - it is a dished surface and is much larger than the end of the cam itself.

Kenny---- bores look like new. did you bore and sleeve the block?
@KennyKizzleRustyNutzRanch2 ай бұрын
Yes. The block was bored .125" over! Crankshaft was ground to .030". Camshaft was completely reconditioned. Cylinder head was fully machined and set up.
