When installing awkward and heavy parts where seals and O-Rings are involved, make yourself some lineup dowles. Will make your job easier. Keep several sets of all sizes .
Watch your fingers when you time the counter shafts. They like to pinch fingers against the block! Rebuilt 5 of these JD motors, good engine to start with because they are so simple to work on.
reliance engine kit? good luck! anyone that reads the manual to find out the small details like you can use petroleum oil on the black O ring, one would think he would read further the part about checking liner protrusion! especially aftermarket liners, or there is always the option of letting those reliance liners pound your block to oblivion! at this point may luck be on your side!
I was thinking afterwards, when you said you went through 5 batteries honing the wrist pin bearings/bushings. Do you not have a drill press? I also noticed you had problems with the seal. Now all of this is hindsight. Put the seal in after installation is complete. One thing I would like to know we have Lucas lubricants here in Canada, what type of lube were you using on the connector bearings? Normally I used gear oil for bearings/bushing. I don't worry about mixing the oils, because I will change the oil after 10 hrs of use. I am guessing that the Tractor uses more than 5 quarts of oil and may not be feasible , which is why I was asking.
I was using Lucas Assembly Lube, also their Oil Stabilizer, I think it holds 8 quart or so of oil, definitely will be changing it out after a few hours. Yes do have a drill press but it sitting by all the tractor parts, didn’t want to get them dirty, plus not hard just takes time
You can't tell anything you are doing fast forwarding and the part you did show was installing the rear seal incorrectly. You are supposed to install with a special tool onto the crank and rear structure at the same time. Good luck on that not leaking prematurely. And its generally called a rear structure. I would not advise people using these videos as a guide to assembly your own tractor. Shade tree mechanics at its best.
78yr old miner mechanic. To chil parts, use rubbing alcohol with dry ice. In a old cooler. Good to a -110*. Works great.

Worked in a hyd rebuild shop. We used plane Vaseline to lube parts unless special lubricants were supplied.
Vaseline? I'm remember that!
I always use soap works the best

Good to know, haven’t pinched any body parts yet!

Manual didn’t say anything about protrusion, but I did mention in one the videos that we did check
Looks gewd, I would use the steel blanc not rubber 1, as it looks like the steel has been wore a bit, the rubber 1 wou k d not hold up.. just tho :)
