[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2424, member: 82"] ROTTEN THING!!! Ok, i had plans to install the engine today, the fan housing is in and other bits i needed are ready. So i drag the engine out, i then get the universal joint to attach to the fly wheel and proceed to grease it. The first grease nipple worked fine, grease squirted out where it should, then the second one refused to put any grease out. I poke and prod it a bit and notice its not moving in one direction!, then take a closer look and its sitting at a funny angle. It has worn so badly that the needle rollers have all been broken up and fused on one side. Just what i needed..... All i wanted to do was get the rotten engine in so i could get oil moving around, but it just wasn't to be..... I'm dredding what Bobcat will charge for the universal joints.... So, thats where i am at. I still have alot to do, but getting the time is becoming harder and harder. Hopefully i will do a little poking around with the lift arms tomorrow and i'll try to get piccies of the dodgy repair that the previous owner did. I need to remove the old bosses and weld new ones on, then attach it to the machine so i can pull it into shape and weld it so its actually straight. I have ordered 5m of 41/40 bar to make my pins and bushings, which i will need to get hardened after maching. [/QUOTE]
