WE bought a MF 65 for parts with a broken crank. A real shame, because the PO had obviously just done a motor job on it, the bearings were like new, and the cylinders still had the honing marks on the walls. I would think less than 100 hours on the rebuild.
The break seemed to have been from metal fatigue. I was wondering if there was any way to detect this before the rebuild, or if the machine shop that turned the crank should have caught the problem? Magna-fluxing catch something like that??
