I had bent push rods on a mower I bought. The cylinder was caked with mud, grease, grime and all else. The cylinder and head was running hot and the valve guide was being pushed out. I had the guide reseated, cleaned the cylinder, and hammered the rod straight, after all was said and done it ran perfectly. This was during covid when I was buying, fixing and flipping mowers. Fully disclosed all to the new buyer and sold the $400 mower for $1600. Not bad, and only 10 or more hours to get it all straightened out and working again.

Tis was a John Deere D160, with a mower grass catcher in perfect shape. Alls good for me and the buyer. Lost was on the farmer that was too lazy to figure it out and fix it.

Does anyone have a good source in or near Edmonton Alberta for one of these new crate engines or do I need to order it up from the States? If you were going to buy a re manufactured crate engine in Canada, who would you get it from? Thanks
Did you check out your local Market Place Dean,as there's quite a few very low milege take-outs for sale on Calgary's Market Place.This one is from Natty /Robertus with only 900 kms on it.
