picking up my kioti in the mornin. will post a few pics as soon as i get it home. so far i have priced the bear essentials. rod assembly includes pin,clips.rod,cap and bolts-main bearings as well as rod bearings. for iceing on the cake a gasket and seal set. figured if i have have to go in deep i might as well make sure to pump some more life into this motor. prices have not been too bad. round 550. keeping my fingers crossed for the best case scenario on rod damage stopping at what i see on the outside. i might get lucky. my old kubota lost reverse and found the gear was stripped out. pulled the column out and was able to slide the shaft back and swap the gear out and put it back together all in two and a half hours. shop told they had to split the tractor and i was looking at 1500 min for the repair. hopeing i get lucky here too. if not things happen but blessings do not come before the effort is put forth first some time. we shall see tomorrow. looking forward to posting my progress and getting input from all that see. first time going into a diesel motor and have to admit i am rather excited.
