Godsmack and 2012 tours
As for Godsmack, Erna says current plans call for the band to head into the studio in January to mix a live album, record some covers that "inspired us along the way," and hit the road with Staind in the spring. A busy year's ahead, to be certain — but Erna embraces the opportunity to keep bringing music to the fans. "It's nice to touch people on a musical and emotional level," he said. "I have a lot of energy, and I'm looking forward to getting it out there."

ASHWAUBENON, Wis. (AP) — The National Railroad Museum plans to host an exhibit featuring vintage dining car china.
The "Jay Christopher Railroad China Collection" features about 600 pieces of fine china created for use in railroad dining cars from the late 19th century through the establishment of Amtrak in 1971.
Jay Christopher, of Hinsdale, Ill., started collecting the pieces in the exhibit during the 1990s.
The exhibit, only shown to the public once before, runs from June 29 through March 3 at the museum in Ashwaubenon.

WILMINGTON — A 4-0 shutout of Laney in the first round of the 4A state softball playoffs meant more than just a ticket to the next round for the East Wake team.
The win avenged an eight inning, 3-2 loss the Warriors suffered against the same opponent in the same round of the playoffs last season. It also set up a second-round playoff meeting and third game of the season between the Warriors and the Garner Trojans, the top seed from the Greater Neuse River Conference.
"It is like revenge. I don't like to think in those terms, but we came down here this time thinking we should have won the game last year," East Wake coach Melissa Bell said. "It's good to win against a team we lost to last year, and I think we have the confidence after winning this game and we're ready for the competition."
East Wake (15-5, Greater Neuse River No. 4 seed) gradually dialed in on the tempo of pitches from Laney sophomore Shelby Cook, who's tosses were slower than the Warriors grew accustomed to playing in a league with no shortage of ace pitchers. The Warriors showed they had fully adjusted by the sixth inning, when they scored all four runs of the game.
After Jasmine McAbee reached first on an error at second base, Breanna Archibald singled to left and Haley Glover busted a ball to center field to load the bases with one out. Ashlee Miller then smacked one dead up the left line to double and score McAbee and Archibald for the 2-0 lead.
East Wake reloaded the bases after the Buccaneers failed to make a play on a bunt by Kenan Bunn. That set the stage for Annabeth Watkins to score Glover and Lauren Miller to score Lauren Lynch, running for Ashlee Miller, before Laney produced a third out.
"We had to play nearly errorless ball to beat them because I knew their sticks were probably better than ours," Laney coach Jim Fisk said. "We had that one bad inning, and that's all that happened. Anytime you throw a couple errors in with three good base hits, it always gets you in trouble."
Laney (12-9, Mideastern No. 2) never got a runner past first base in the final two innings – playing in with a full-game defensive tone set by the Warriors, who never allowed their opponent to reach third base.
That was much thanks to East Wake senior pitcher Lauren Miller, who struck out 10 of the 26 batters she faced, walked none and allowed four hits in the win.
"I had been in a slump the last few games," Miller said, referring to three combined losses to league powers Clayton and West Johnston at the end of the regular season. "This was a good reminder to work harder."
Bell said errors, not Miller, cost the Warriors those games. She used the Laney game as an example of what her team can do when it limits its miscues. The Warriors had one error against the Bucs that came in the bottom of the seventh and resulted in no damage.
Fisk hasn't had a nine-loss team in the 15 years (12 as head coach) he's been with the Laney program, but he pointed out there are no seniors on this season's Bucs squad and just three juniors to lead a host of underclassmen. He considered the playoff game a good learning experience.
"About five of them on the field have never played in a playoff game until tonight," Fisk said. "When you start making mistakes it starts getting you down, and (Miller) did a pretty good job for them on the mound tonight."
Facing a rematch with Garner on Tuesday, Bell said her players would have to jump on the ball on offense and on defense.
"It's going to take a game like we played last time, where we were focused and making plays, and it's going to take us hitting the ball," she said.
East Wake was responsible for one of Garner's two losses in the regular season – a game the Warriors won 2-0 on April 19.

Sports Writer
KINGSTON — As a team, the Paris Junior College Dragons of Paris, Texas, placed fifth at Southeastern Oklahoma State University's Texoma Championship at Chickasaw Pointe Golf Club in Kingston, Okla. But as an individual, Paris sophomore and Quinton High School graduate Justin Ary shot a hole-in-one of the fifth hole of the second round, hitting an eagle on a par-three, 185-yard course.
"I was so pumped and excited," Ary said Tuesday. "So excited, because that was my first one."
Ary said the fifth hole featured a green with a sand trap in front and a mound rising behind it. He said that most golfers used the mound as a back stop, hitting it and letting the ball roll back onto the green for an easy putt.
"I hit it over the green," Ary said. "It hit the mound and rolled back about 20 feet. I hit it a little farther than I wanted to, but it ended up working out."

It's someone that left a lasting impression on the sport by doing something extraordinary- e.g. The Protopopovs changed pairs skating forever, Elvis Stojko made the quad jump routine, Midori Ito's triple axel, Torville-Dean's row of 6.0's for Bolero (a moment etched in skating history). Not every legend will be known to a casual fan, but the real fans will remember them and/or try to dig up their tapes or youtubes to watch what they did.
I usually do not include any of the current skaters on the list because their careers are still developing. One exception, however. Plushenko has already achieved the legendary status in spite of being a 'current' skater. His comeback in the 2010 Olympics and his efforts to skate in his 4th Olympics - yes, the efforts- are legendary. In the quad-jump era, I have not seen a skater with such longevity, and such passion for the sport that he undergoes numerous surgeries and rehabs just to be able to compete.
Currently there are skaters that could become legends- V&M, Chan, Yu na Kim, and possibly D&W (they are almost there, IMO). If D&W win the OGM in Sochi, they will definitely be legendary, in case their two world titles are not.
Some skaters are legends in their own countries, but not worldwide, and that is very understandable.
The bottomline is there is no fixed definition of a legend. Each one makes up his/her own definition. Some are limited to the country (like someone mentioned Korpi and Joubert). For a broader definition I would go for a wider fan base and a very long time frame to define it.
It's not that I don't consider Plushenko as a legend in figure skating.

It's important to be able to look beyond one's own preferences. I mean, I've never been a huge fan of Plushenko's skating, but it's obvious to me that his competitive record and influence make him a legend.
The only reason someone would leave Michelle off a list was bc she does not have OGM. But she has everything else and came close - 2 times - to the OGM. Her longevity in the sport - making THREE Olympic teams - pretty much medaling every year at worlds, is unmatched by any skater in any discipline. For anyone to say she should not be on a list of worldwide greats is just a travesty. Someone would only say that if they buy the media hype that OGM defines a great skater. It does not and should not and Michelle is a perfect example of that.
For 95% of people is the US, if you asked, name one great skater of the last 20 years- Michelle is who you would mention. Michelle defined the sport in the late 90/early 2000s. Indeed, if you asked that question 10 years ago I think most ordinary people in the world not just USA would mention her. Many people may not even know she never got OGM.
I generally agree with the original list (in the first post), though I'd add Michelle Kwan (she's become such an icon how can she NOT be included!) and Grishuk/Platov (I hated them throughout the 1998 Olympics thanks to the NBC "fluffs" but have since come to really appreciate them - plus, they did win 2 OGMs, and Pasha was memorable to say the least!).
I'd personally include both Yagudin and Plushenko, though if I HAD to pick just one I'd go with Plushenko. I loved Yagudin and rooted for him over Plushy during their rivalry and esp. the 2002 Olys, but Plushenko's definitely left more of a legacy in the sport with his quite successful comebacks, sheer determination and UNREAL jumping talent (I covet the athletic side more, so sue me =P). I was pretty annoyed with how the American media vilified him in Vancouver (that's a whole other topic), but he IS quite well known (as far as figure skaters go) and respected in other parts of the world. Actually, even in the U.S., he and Yagudin are like the only skaters other than Kwan that my friends who are no longer into fs and don't know any of the current skaters remember fondly - it was if nothing else a legendary rivalry.
You have a point about skaters being legends in their own countries but not internationally. I'd say that Denkova/Staviski will go down in history as the first Bulgarian skaters to win a worlds gold medal (well, they won two in a row!), what makes them legends from the Bulgarian point of view, for sure.
Michelle may be the one of the few skaters to not win OGM to be on a list of greats...and that just underscore what a great she is. To be considered among your sports greats without winning the pinnacle trophy is truly an extraordinary accomplishment.
IMO when the list of 'legendary' becomes really long, the word loses its meaning.
Also, I agree that context is important, as in legendary in a country, in the world, or in an era.
difficult to say now since I'm a FS fan. But when I started to watch FS back to the late 80's, the legends were :
Katarina Witt
John Curry
Janet Lynn
I recall seeing both Yagudin and Plushenko at 98 Worlds and it was immediately obvious to me which was legendary. Side by side during practice it was easy to see that while Yagudin had It, Plushenko had IT.
But I also do think both of them are considered legendary around the world.
Have a nice day!

A bright yellow spice that comes from the rhizome of a plant in the ginger family. It is sometimes available fresh, but is usually sold dried and ground, in powder form. Turmeric has anti-oxidant properties which is why it has long been an Indian home remedy for many illnesses.
Turmeric is often a component of curry powder and it is used on its own in many Asian dishes, including fish curries, dhals, pilafs as well as in many North African meat and vegetable dishes. Turmeric also gives chutneys and pickles (such as piccalilli) their distinctive yellow tinge. It has a slight peppery aroma and a musky taste.

Anger over the George Zimmerman trial spilled into the streets again Monday night when protests turned violent in Los Angeles.
About 150 people broke away from a protest and began running through the streets attacking people, cars, and businesses. Police were called in to try and bring peace back to L.A.'s Crenshaw District. Many protestors are calling for justice after the acquittal of George Zimmerman.
Six female jurors determined Zimmerman was not guilty of murder when he shot 17-year-old Trayvon Martin. The juror known as "B-37" told CNN's Anderson Cooper that the decision that is taking it's toll on America, took it's toll on them as well.
"We put everything into everything to get this verdict," said juror B-37. "I don't think any of us could ever do anything like that ever again."
She also said she was convinced Zimmerman was trying to defend himself, and she says she believes race had nothing to do with it.
However, race was an undertone in the case and in the following protests.
Attorney General Eric Holder has directed his department to look into filing criminal civil rights charges against Zimmerman. Attorney General Holder will address the NAACP's annual convention on Tuesday.

Manipulation of Exciton Dynamics in Macrocycle
Molecules and Inorganic Semiconductor Nanocrystals
Chemical Sciences Division Seminar
10:00 AM — 11:00 AM, Building 4100 / Room C-301
Contact: Robert W. Shaw (email@example.com), 865.574.4920
AbstractElectrostatic manipulation of exciton dynamics with external electric fields can be used to study electronic properties of novel material systems such as semiconductor nanocrystals, which may be well suited for future applications in optoelectronic devices. Excitons can be separated and stored in nanocrystals by an applied electric field for several microseconds before being retrieved upon the removal of the electric field. Due to the limited number of trap sites where excitons can be stored, the relative efficiency of exciton manipulation decreases with increasing excitation density. The manipulation of excitons can also be achieved through structural engineering, which controls exciton relaxation through the designed chemical structure. Model molecular systems of monomers and dimers were studied using time-resolved spectroscopy in combination with single molecule spectroscopy to reveal coherent exciton delocalization and incoherent energy transfer in the dimers containing two closely spaced monomers.

HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- With New Year's Eve just a few days away, if you check the aisle of most drug stores and convenience stores, you'll find over-the-counter breathalyzers.
WSAZ.com bought three, ranging in price from $5.99 to $51.
We compared them to a breathalyzer calibrated to West Virginia standards that's used in the West Virginia Start Smart Program.
It's an interlock program where DUI offenders must use a breathalyzer to start their vehicle. If it detects alcohol beyond the legal limit, the car remains dead.
Huntington resident Lonnie Gill agreed to test each product. He had two beers over the course of an hour and then waited the recommended 20 minutes before administering the test.
Three over-the-counter breathalyzers were compared with the official calibrated one -- four in all, and four different results.
"We got three different readings," Gill said. "To me, that means you can't count on them. You can't trust them to keep you safe."

Kenneth Dachman, a Glencoe man who defrauded 51 investors out of more than $4 million over two years, was sentenced to 10 years in federal prison, according to a U.S. justice department press release.
The former Lake Forest resident funded his family's lavish lifestyle using investments for a now-defunct sleep disorder treatment center in Northbrook, the release said.
Three of his investment victims told the judge at the sentencing hearing that Dachman's scheme had seriously affected their lives and retirement security, according to the justice department.
"His business was not sleep apnea but putting money in his pocket," U.S. District Judge James Zagel said in imposing the sentence, according to the release.
Dachman pled guilty to 11 counts of wire fraud in October. According to the justice department, Dachman used the investors' money "to buy a two-acre mansion in Lake Forest, to operate a tattoo parlor in Chicago that was co-owned by his son-in-law, to purchase vacations and cruises for himself and his family to Italy, Nevada, Florida and Alaska, to purchase a new sport utility vehicle, to fund personal gambling in Las Vegas and stock trading, and to purchase rare books and antiques."
"I choose to admit my guilt," Dachman stated in a plea declaration filed with the court, "to being accountable for soliciting money from investors on the premise and condition that the money would be directed to the startup and nurturing of the business (Central Sleep) when in fact the majority of the money went to my personal benefit," the Chicago Tribune reports.
Dachman was dubbed a "serial financial predator", the Tribune reports, after the discovery of Dachman's pattern of creating a business, finding investors, using the money for personal use, declaring bankruptcy to avoid debt repayment and then repeating the cycle with a new business.

By Jean DePlacido
---- — Colleges all across the country wanted to land Peabody High running sensation Catarina Rocha, who committed to Providence College late last night.
Rocha received full scholarship offers, including a fifth year, from all of her final four choices. She had narrowed the decision down to PC, Boston College, UConn, and Georgetown. After visiting all four schools she felt Providence was the perfect fit.
"It was really a tough choice," said Rocha, who ended her high school cross country career in a blaze by finishing second at the Foot Locker Cross Country Championships in San Diego earlier this month. "Providence was my first visit back in September. I wanted to stay close to home so I ruled out all the schools in the West right away."
The Friars were runner-up to national champion Oregon at the NCAA Meet at the University of Louisville. Team members come from all over the country, Switzerland and Australia.
"Everything about Providence was attractive to me. The team dynamics, the coaches, the education, the campus, and the location. It's only an hour and 15 minutes away from home so I can come home whenever I want. It's just perfect; not too close, but not too far either," Rocha said.
Both her mother, the former Gina Braz, and father Joe Rocha had starred at BC where her uncle Fernando Braz also had a Hall of Fame career.
"I thought Georgetown and UConn were a little too far away so my final choice was between BC and Providence," she said. "All the scholarship offers were great, but in the end Providence was where I felt most comfortable."
Rocha plans to run all three seasons for the Friars, but could wind up red shirting a season and use her fifth year. She said that will be up to the coach, and she will do whatever veteran coach Ray Treacy wants.
"I think it's a great fit for her," said Joe Rocha, who also coaches the Tanners. "She narrowed it down to four wonderful schools, and at the end felt Providence was the right fit both athletically and academically. She loved Georgetown but thought it was too far away, and UConn was a little too big. Providence is a bit smaller than BC. Catarina just felt more connected at PC, and as parents we tried to let her make her own decision and supported it.
"I think she made a good choice because it's an established program that was second in the nation in cross country this year, and their coach is highly respected."
Rocha, the Salem News Cross Country Runner of the Year the last three years, had a terrific performance in San Diego, passing two runners in the last 300 meters to take second place. She clocked 17:29 on the 5K course for the best finish ever by a girl from Massachusetts. She had qualified by winning the Northeast Regional Qualifier in New York in 17:49, a full 19 seconds ahead of the nearest competitor.
Before that she won the All-State Meet in 18:06, a time that was 45 seconds better than the second place finisher, and led her team to a state title. She also won her third straight Eastern Mass. Division 1 title, setting a new course record.
Rocha started for the Tanner soccer team as a freshman before deciding to run all three seasons. She shattered course records throughout her career. The Tanner captain broke the course record set by Olympian Shalane Flanagan of Marblehead in the NEC Meet at Bradley Palmer with a new mark of 17:20 to easily best the record of 17:45.
"It's a relief knowing I've made my decision," said Rocha, who has a 3.7 GPA. "I can enjoy the rest of my senior year now. It was a nerve wracking process but feels awesome to say I have committed to Providence. I called to let them know last night, and I know they were excited. I'm excited, too. They've had a lot of success, but that's not the reason I decided to go there. I weighed all the differences between the schools and felt this was the perfect fit for me."
PC's Treacy is one of the top coaches nationally, having been with the Friars as coach for 26 years. He's coached 134 All-Americans, 11 NCAA individual champions, 142 Big East individual champions and 13 Olympic athletes. His teams have captured one NCAA cross country title and 16 Big East XC titles.

David Burke at Bloomingdale's
Chef David Burke studied at the prestigious Culinary Institute of America before earning a glowing reputation as chef at the River Café and later the Park Avenue Café. He would parlay those experiences into his own entrepreneurial success, opening the celebrated davidburke & donatella on 61st Street in 2003, and then taking over the 59th Street façade of the iconic Bloomingdale's department store. David's intent in opening his eatery in Bloomingdale's was to fuse different sensibilities. On one side, the Burke Bar Café offers an accessible but slightly more elegant dining experience. Alternatively, shoppers in a hurry can step over to the other side of the historical frontage. There, a streamlined, more cafeteria-like mood prevails at Burke in the Box, which swaddles the award-winning cuisine in snazzy takeout boxes. The menus at both establishments change regularly and abound with American fare updated by exciting twists, such as crispy fish tacos with pineapple-guacamole salsa or mac 'n' cheese infused with bacon and lobster.

By Joe Mahoney The Daily Star
Cooperstown Crier
---- — Otsego Manor will soon experience "a mass exodus" of registered nurses who will be retiring soon, according to Edmond Marchi, the administrator of the 174-bed public nursing home.
Marchi said the nurses, in preparation for their retirements, "have been using every dime of their benefit time so they can get their service time extended" and thus boost the public pensions they will begin to collect upon their retirements.
He said the Manor currently has nine registered nurses. Four or five of them have signaled that they will retire over the next two to five months, he said.
In order to fill staffing gaps, the nurses are often called upon to work extra-long days, are qualify for overtime pay when they work beyond their normal shifts. He said it is not uncommon for one nurse to work a 16-hour shift.
State law requires that a registered nurse be on duty at the home around the clock, Marchi noted.
At Marchi's request, the Board of Representatives' Manor Committee approved the hiring of a clinical services coordinator, the title given to the registered nurses.
Acting County Treasurer Russ Bachman said the salary range for a clinical services coordinator in Otsego County ranges from $57,428 to $67,518 per year before overtime.
The upcoming departure of the nurses is unrelated to the county's controversial effort to privatize the Manor, Marchi said. That sale effort is now in the hands of a local development corporation, which is expected to issue a request for proposals to potential bidders in late July.
Marchi himself is leaving his job at the Manor effective July 12 after accepting a job as the administrator of a similar public nursing home in Schenectady County, where he will be paid $107,000 a year.
Marchi revealed to the Manor Committee that, starting next week until his departure from the Otsego Manor in four weeks, he will work one day a week at the Schenectady home. He said he will use vacation days he has accrued from Otsego County on those days when he is working in Schenectady.
Meanwhile, the local development corporation is researching its options regarding whether the county's Long Term Home Health Care Program will be included in the RFP.
Currently, the program services 71 patients who are provided with home care services where they reside.
Marchi said the future of long term home health care is in doubt because the state "is attempting to gut them." Given the uncertainty, he said that "it's a good idea to be flexible" when the request for proposals is crafted, so that potential bidders could be given an array of options, including ones that include the program and ones that omit it.
The Manor Committee chairwoman, Rep. Katherine Stuligross, D-Oneonta, who is also a member of the LDC, said she would discuss the issue with the county's consultants.

Liver health has always been important to many researchers and in this day & age, I don?t blame them! With all the chemicals and by-products being put into our environment that can cause issues to living species, I feel the research into enhancing liver health is a very important topic. There has been a lot of promising feedback coming from the research into ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in regards to enhancing liver function along with a few other positive traits that have been discovered in research, so I felt it was time to make an article on UDCA.
UDCA is a type of bile acid (hydrophilic bile acid) and is known as a cytoprotective agent. UDCA is produced by metabolic by-products of intestinal bacteria in animals. UDCA is also man-made and in research it has been shown to be very effective at improving and enhancing liver function under various conditions. UDCA has been shown to be very effective in treating a variety conditions not only related to liver function but also organs as well. Some of the conditions UDCA has been shown beneficial for are; airway inflammation, cholestatic liver diseases, liver disease related to cystic fibrosis, diabetes-induced oxidative stress, dissolution of gallstones and the prevention of colon carcinoma.
UDCA was also found to be the only known beneficial bile acid with immunomodulatory effects in animals and has been shown to reduce eosinophil counts in primary biliary cirrhosis. The mechanism of these effects remains currently unknown.
UDCA elicits some of its positive traits due to its anti-inflammatory effects, by improving bile flow, helping regulate cholesterol by reducing the rate of absorption in the intestine and by reducing the toxicity of bile salts that can play a major role in cell death. UDCA elicits its benefits though multiple pathways in the body and each of these pathways has their own area worthy of further research and the various conditions that may be treated by it. The anti-inflammatory effect of UDCA has proven useful in research for a variety of conditions that are related to inflammation. In a study to confirm the intestinal anti-inflammatory effect of UDCA with induced colitis in research subjects, orally administered UDCA was found to be a useful compound to reduce intestinal inflammation and is being investigated for the treatment of and further research into the condition known as inflammatory bowel disease. In cystic fibrosis and primary biliary cirrhosis (a progressive inflammatory autoimmune-mediated liver disease) research has shown UDCA administration to positively affect liver function. UDCA can suppress the inflammation in affected biliary cirrhosis subjects and has been shown to reduce the development of severe liver disease with an improvement in serum liver tests in subjects with cystic fibrosis.
UDCA has proven beneficial in post liver transplant subjects and in a randomized study UDCA was shown to improve serum liver tests and decrease the incidence of biliary sludge and casts in the first year after liver transplantation took place. UDCA was also found to be effective in subjects with intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy (ICP). UDCA was found to effectively reduce pruritus and improve liver test results in subjects with ICP. In subjects with ICP, administered UDCA showed fewer premature births and reduced fetal distress was seen. This shows that UDCA therapy might also benefit fetal outcomes and is something to be further researched in regards to UDCA administration.
In research subjects with gallstones UDCA was found to stimulate multiple detoxification pathways. UDCA was shown to significantly stimulated bile acid and bilirubin detoxification, conjugation and elimination, as well as bile acid synthesis compared to test subjects that did not receive UDCA administration (control group). UDCA is a great compound for research into the treatment of gallstones and the feedback seems very promising in this area.
Research of UDCA into positive effects on oxidative stress has also proven effective for subjects with diabetic related issues. Oxidative stress has often been seen as a diabetic complication and UDCA has been shown to be beneficial in preventing diabetes-induced oxidative stress, along with secondary complications from this issue. UDCA research has shown to be very effective in preventing oxidative stress in the kidneys of diabetic test subjects, so UDCA is not just helpful to the liver but many parts of the body as you can see here.
UDCA research is very important to many researchers investigating liver function enhancement and many other conditions in the body. It is a very unique compound to work with, having multiple pathways for its positive effects. Any research into liver function and enhancement is not complete without the research into UDCA.

The build begins

The build begins
So the build begins. My first cub was for a quick refurbish, but didnt quite work out that way. The cub was a purchase from a friend whom purchased from an auction about 2 years ago. It is a non-runner; the engine was free in 2011. I purchased the cub with a Servis BM60 belly mower about a mont ago. And the build begins.......
Now the motor is stuck, no big deal right? Well it's stuck good..
I started with a normal disassembly and things got worse. Stuck pistons, stuck valves, water and pitting damage on the valve seats and combustion chambers; Almost like the cub is saying "let me rest, Im done".
Every bolt is stuck, nothing wants to break loose or disassemble smoothly. Mr. Cub just wants to be left alone. What do you do? Honor his wishes? Keep on working? Scrap pile? Push him off the Preverbal cliff?
Here, we are just keep on working and wearing him down because deep down we all know the cub wants to return to service just as bad as i want him to.
So here we go; I soak the motor down with PB Blaster in the spark plug holes expecting to break him loose in a day or so ….. not so much, I had to weld bolts to the valves just to be able to pull them out. A month later the motor is upside down on the engine stand still stuck.
With a newly discovered and heartbreakingly cracked block I turn to the forum for knowledge; with the help of the well known forum member Bizerk I do have a new set of engine braces on order witch is great, if I can ever get the crankshaft pulley off. Again I turn to the wealth of knowledge here at Farmallcub.com and find all the info that I need. With the Method#2 setup from the cub book of knowledge I was off and running or so I thought. Pulley still stuck. Heat, still stuck.
What do you do, cracked block, stuck crank pulley, overall bad attitude?? Ahhhhh I'll keep working.
Here I am today, cracked block with crank pulley still stuck. Maybe it will break loose maybe not, I don't know yet, But for some reason this cub is here in my garage; why?
Re: The build begins
here are the stuck valves
Re: The build begins
A few more disassembly pics. The crack....
Re: The build begins
I'm not one to quickly throw in the towel on something like this, but I think you'd be money and time ahead to strip what you can off the engine and look for another good short block that you can replace this one with.
Screwstick #3934
FCub - LoBoy - Numbered Series Databases
Re: The build begins
I would not put the kind of money that engine needs into a cracked block. Get another engine.
Re: The build begins
Agree with Ray and Jim. Get another tested, running engine. Much cheaper. Even if you get the engine apart, think it will need major machine work and new parts.
Looking at the bottom end of the engine. Looks like it's been full of water for an extended period of time.
Strip the engine of serviceable parts.
I have an excuse. CRS.
Re: The build begins
Sorry for your luck. I only had one stuck piston - looks like all 4 of yours are frozen solid.
If you could get the crank out you can probably beat the pistons out one at a time - hand sledge and block of wood - just to prove you can do it, but like the others say, it probably won't be a serviceable engine ever again.
On the bright side - your bores look like what my #4 looked like on the '65 and it's a pretty strong runner with only a hone job and new rings. I've mowed about 4 hours with it and it's used virtually no oil. It's rehab continues....
Re: The build begins
There are a couple parts tractors here .. Good luck.http://atlanta.craigslist.org/search/gr ... k=&maxAsk=
The prices look reasonable to me.
Re: The build begins
I have brought tractors like this back to life on other peoples money because they were insistent on repairs as it had been in the family etc; etc...
I cautioned them about the expense and reminded them if the engine was this well cared for you can bet once it starts that is only the beginning.
When those jobs were done you could tell by the customers reaction they knew they overspent but had authorized every penny of it along the way.
I'm the first to tell people there are a lot of cubs out there and if you are patient you can pick one up for under a K note that needs less than a C note to be pretty close to perfect.
Donor tractors are important to this hobby. Remember once that engine is running you have a few other big ticket items that may need service. Best of luck to you.
Re: The build begins
Do a search for crankshaft pulley puller (top of this page) and get some ideas on getting that pulley off.
Re: The build begins
As others have said, I would invest in a replacement engine block, your sheet metal looks to be in good shape, so you are ahead of the game there.
What condition are the crankshaft journals in?
Re: The build begins
Thanks for your input guys (i need it) I will take all of this information into account. When the crankshaft pulley gives up and comes off i will remove the crankshaft and have a better idea about the condition of the rest of the engine. I removed the rod caps; the engine has been built before and has .020 oversized bearings in it. The rod bearings look to be new and lightly used. There is no ridge at all in the cylinders. I will post better pics later tonight. I think that when i have it fully disassembled I will be able to gather more information to make a better informed choice on what to do. The block crack is not visible on the outside of the block and looks to be very minor to others that I have seen. But will need more information. I will post better pics of it as well.
I am planning on having the block and componets measured at Cassidey's machine shop in Macon GA. I will also post my findings and their evaluation of the situation as well.
This just isnt the way I saw this project going.. I am disappointed but still optimistic at this point. I really want to build this tractor.
Y'all stay tuned...
Re: The build begins
We will all be cheering for you.
Re: The build begins
Good news, the Crank pulley is OFF!!!!!! Finally!! I fully disassembled the engine after I was able to get the crank out of the way. With a little help the pistons came on out. The crank journals look good to me, It seems to have a semi-fresh rebuild.?.?.?. The rod bearings and crank bearings look newer to me, I will post pics shortly. the rod bearins are oversized to .020 but I cannot find any markings on the crank bearings. The cylinders look OK but Im sure will need to be bored out due to small pitting. I also cannot find any markings on the pistons to show that they are oversized.
So at this point I will take the block in and have the machine shop measure and estimate a repair cost. With the machine shop information and recomendations I will be able to make the best choice possible for me.
If the machine shop can sucessfully replace valve seats, deck the head and block (if needed), polish crank, and sucessfully clean up/ bore the cylinders; will it be worth it with the crack is the big question.
Please take a look and provide more feedback, I will post Machine shop information ASAP. I will post better pictures of the crack as well.
Re: The build begins
Here is more information on the crack and why I would like to save the motor.
All of my casting numbers match. I would really like to have this tractor all original 1952 from front to rear, it would mean more to me that way (anyone understand/agree?) I feel like I have started this project and want to finish. If the build works out it is a personal project for me to keep and mow my place with, not a build to sell.
The crack did not allow oil to leak and is nowhere close to the water jacket.
The machine shop said they can professionally repair cast iorn cracks in blocks and will be glad to evaluate for me.
Bizerk has me first on the list to recieve a new set of engine braces. (I will keep them if I decide to use this engine or not)
All that being said and with better pics of the crack; I ask: How bad is it?
