Hello from ireland

Hi from Roscommon ,.Ireland

my grandson has a c-121 ,which was running perfect ,until it stopped,we pulled the engine out today and the conrod was snapped in. About five bits,,no damage to the piston or the bore ,but I think the crankshaft will either have to be reground or replaced he’s sick over it ,it’s a great little machine with a tipping trailer and makes cleaning out his pony a lot easier for him, does anyone know a stockist/supplier this side of the pond ,? Thanks  .

:text-welcomeconfetti:to the :rs:Jim.      I can't help with a supplier, but members from your side of the pond should be along soon with help.

 

That is a great looking C-121 and hopefully a new .020" under rod and a crank regrind will put it back to work.    Always best to give the new part to the machinist for measuring and machine other parts to match.

Hello Jim1. Welcome to the best WH site. I was over in London 3 times now....well chasing a wee lass from Scotland. Was ok, country sides much nicer, but in hindsite I should have told her to meet me in Ireland, lol. I can say I have been to Ireland but it was only for 1 hour on the tarmack while they unloaded a poor old man having a heart attack. We have green in Canada and lots of it, and Ive travelled a wee bit but I never in my life saw green like I did over Ireland. My brother and I are hoping before were too old, to visit Ireland, around the Cork and Wexford areas to see the old farm and possible a cottage in another area that used to be in the family. But Id really love to go to the north western part, I heard here say there teaching gallic there in the schools even, my paw was trying to learn the language before he passed, he and my maw were there for 6 weeks n travling and the pictures they took absolutly dropped my jaw. Oh dang it 4:03 am I gotta hit the hay. Again Welcome to the Red Clan hehehehe.
