Wheel Horse Collector 47 #1 Posted February 3, 2015 Glad to say the rattle was nothing serious. I took apart the whole darn engine just to find that the connecting rod cap around the crankshaft was loose. Tightened it up, put it all back together and it fired right up. So happy it was nothing serious and didn't cost me a cent. This is a little off topic, but for all you farmers on here, there is a big polk auction tomorrow with a lot of quality farm equipment there and I would recommend going to it. I will be there driving tractors through the sale barn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ericj 1,579 #2 Posted February 3, 2015 do you know why the rod cap bolts loosened up, were they not torqued right. i know they should be replaced after so many rebuild or a least the nuts if they backed off eric j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
