Listers ,
With all the talk about broken crankshafts on the four cylinder TRactor engine 
, 
how many people have actually broken one or more ?
I admit to breaking one back in 1971 . The engine was completely stock ( not 
balanced ) with stock fan and the car was driven relatively hard without 
exceeding 5k rpm .
I believe that the reason for this breakage was excessive wear in the rear main 
bearing .
Anyone else ?
