Engine Machining

When and if you every wonder what happens whan you take your engine in for a little bit of machining, today I found out!!!

No joking! had two engine mounts snapped and attempted to be removed by a previous owner but by plying my buddy with sweet treats we finally saved the day by removing...

the two stud's.... milled out the damage for me to weld in two sleeves, job done! Thanks you know who you are...BSBK&WB

At the end of the day

It all gets put together to look like this

Put filler cap back in and re-routed pipe thing as standard all to get a standard milwakiue tracktor gas cap in, I think the tank is going to take a while,,,
