Breathing new life into the 318 in the Scamp!

Looks like John Deere promo! Nice look, all together. Heard about it getting smushed. Sorry to hear. Nice to know, about the mineral spirits. I'll check the temp when I paint, supposedly, it's going to be in the mid to upper fifties this weekend. I'll be glad if it is.

I think, before I do put this thing back together, I'm going to give the one journal another look and check it at one more angle with the gauge on the rod side, just to be safe.

This looked like it came loose about 2 threads and it didn't get driven on it, shut of right away, so far it looks ok, but I suppose double checking wouldn't hurt anything.
