Domenic 13 #1 Posted December 19, 2025 I split the case on my c175 because it started knocking and when I took the crank shaft out I noticed that the bolts holding the connecting rod onto the crank shaft were both lose. Ive been looking to buy a new piston rod and rod cap but cant seem to find one anywhere. If anyone knows where I can get one please let me know. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 63,546 #4 Posted December 19, 2025 You should have the cylinder jugs and crank measured at a machine shop to see what needs to be done before buying any parts. No need to spend a lot of money on rods, rings and gaskets only to find out that the engine has other problems. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tim's Toy Tractor 12 #6 Posted December 20, 2025 Blasterdad, I know you are couple of ours away, but it is a heck of a deal for (4) KT17's, the one long block has extremely low hours on it, I actually drove to New York years ago to pick that one up. I am a little negotiable, just cleaning out my garage. Fell fre to call me anytime @ 1-313-460-8858, Tim 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
