Thank you!
Also need a half decent powerhead if possible… one of the studs for the side covers was broken off
The drive shaft tube also includes the lower main bearing. The upper and lower mains are lined bored together. When moving this part from one block to another the alignment may be OK. Maybe not. If you find that the crankshaft is binding or locked up, that’s the problem. I’ve done it. Some times it worked out, other times, not so much. When you find something, it would be best to put the piston and cylinder on what you have, or take out the crankshaft with everything attached and move it along with the cylinder to your block. Also be looking for a 1938 Ranger model # 4252. All the parts “WERE” the same as the Scout, except for the covers and gas tank – if it hasn’t been messed with. The asking price for a Ranger is usually less than that for a Pal. They’re not common but easy to spot as they are the only Ranger that is open in the rear to reach the spark plug.
A "Boathouse Repair" is one thats done without having tools or the skills to do it properly.
