So...I'm sitting on 2 WD45 cranks that are pretty rusty. Want to sell them but I know the rust is hurting me. I've looked all over and can only find .030 under rod/main bearings. Anyone go smaller than that? One has been stamped .030 under now and is gonna need some touchup work. At one time I thought they made .040 under. For most parade/show tractors I'd think that'd be just fine. If not, anyone want to buy a couple of stroker prospects?

could have them welded up also. I for one have tested a few cranks and am running a .30 under now

Sounds like cranks that need to be advertised as useable cores for stroker cranks.

That's what I'm thinking. Whats a usable core worth?
