OT: removing spun bearing material from crank

Here's what you do. Saw off the bottom of the rod and clamp it back on the crank. Pull the piston out of that cylinder, and if safe to do so, pull the pushrods for that cylinder.

"A perfectly good X-1 cylinder engine" is the result. Best part is, it will still sound "just like a Deere".

LOL! That is funny. Yeah, sound like the old "poppin John" one banger they used to make. The old guy across the street still uses one to work his garden. A friend had a cyl go bad on a V8 and he drilled a hole in top of the piston and took out the pushrods. Traded in the car.
