Do you have to split?

In order to do rings/big end bearings does anyone know if it is necessary to split the tractor or can the sump be removed safely. I fear the sump may be structural

You will have to split the tractor.

If you are going to do mains and big ends it is shortsighted not to have the crank re-ground too. If you need one you need the other on these engines.

This would mean complete engine removal which is the easiest way.

That's what I feared I just didn't want to do a complete rebuild, just what was possible without splitting.
