What kind of engines do you run? I'm an ag mechanic. Just
finished an overhaul on a John Deere 4640 (466” turbo) today.

One has a 300 hp John Deere.(32' Levy)

Another 38' Young Bros has a new 440 Yanmar electronic. We snapped a crankshaft in two under way last season and had to replace the engine. It was toast.

Another 32' H&H is having a rebuilt 420 Yanmar installed next month as the old Yanmar had the 3rd cylinder malfunction the end of last season. It looked like the top of the cylinder started to melt and it distorted the block.-Tom
