Jim1 8 #1 Posted December 1, 2019 Hi from Roscommon ,.Ireland my grandson has a c-121 ,which was running perfect ,until it stopped,we pulled the engine out today and the conrod was snapped in. About five bits,,no damage to the piston or the bore ,but I think the crankshaft will either have to be reground or replaced he’s sick over it ,it’s a great little machine with a tipping trailer and makes cleaning out his pony a lot easier for him, does anyone know a stockist/supplier this side of the pond ,? Thanks . 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Kennell 38,579 #2 Posted December 1, 2019 to the Jim. I can't help with a supplier, but members from your side of the pond should be along soon with help. That is a great looking C-121 and hopefully a new .020" under rod and a crank regrind will put it back to work. Always best to give the new part to the machinist for measuring and machine other parts to match. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MikMacMike 479 #15 Posted December 9, 2019 Hello Jim1. Welcome to the best WH site. I was over in London 3 times now....well chasing a wee lass from Scotland. Was ok, country sides much nicer, but in hindsite I should have told her to meet me in Ireland, lol. I can say I have been to Ireland but it was only for 1 hour on the tarmack while they unloaded a poor old man having a heart attack. We have green in Canada and lots of it, and Ive travelled a wee bit but I never in my life saw green like I did over Ireland. My brother and I are hoping before were too old, to visit Ireland, around the Cork and Wexford areas to see the old farm and possible a cottage in another area that used to be in the family. But Id really love to go to the north western part, I heard here say there teaching gallic there in the schools even, my paw was trying to learn the language before he passed, he and my maw were there for 6 weeks n travling and the pictures they took absolutly dropped my jaw. Oh dang it 4:03 am I gotta hit the hay. Again Welcome to the Red Clan hehehehe. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
