B1-3

B1-3
My B1-3 as it looked when I purchased it in 2000.

B1-3 tiller hood
New Hood shell by Herb Sheet Metal of Lebanon, PA, inside reinforcing and painting by me.

B1-3
Setup used to put pressure on the piston. I made a fatal mistake of using an impact wrench on the jack bolt.

B1-3 broken cylinder
Oops, that can't be good! It took 6 tons of force to remove the piston from the cylinder. I had penetrating oil in the cylinder for more than 6 years. The rust was that bad that the oil never went past the top of the piston.

B1-3
Broken crank pin. Looks like water was in this crankcase for some time.

B1-3
Look at the rust!

B1-3
Crankcase removed from transmission.
