lussetto Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I am in the process bringing backing the Vohlbracht stroker crankshaft and pistons for the Farmall M-450. After talking with a few people, I’ve decided to try and offer them in both 5.75” and 6.00" strokes. I would appreciate your feedback so I can get an idea of how many of each stroke I’ll have made in the first batch. Thanks, Greg 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IHKIWI Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Hi there ,thanks for posting, looking at the pictures I’d say these are cast rather than forged????........may I ask what kind of material they would be made of ??? Thanks, Heath, NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lussetto Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 They are being made out of a nodular cast iron just like the original M&W cranks. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lussetto Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 MMI, I’m really not sure what your question is or if you’re even looking for a response, but we have acquired the molds from Volbrachts and I’m working with a company that will finish the crankshafts with some very nice CNC equipment. Thanks for the interest I think? Greg 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lussetto Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 As far as I know, Volbracht was the only place making them. Greg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not in the budget at the moment but I need to find the particulars as my 3rd 450 needs a crankshaft although I might have a good 400 crankshaft Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard lots of horror stories about Denny's, but I'd put Brian Miller selling Cub Cadet pulling parts right down there with them, or maybe a bit lower. Some of the stories I've heard about Denny's I can hardly believe that anybody still does business with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, Greg I know at 5.75 no clearancing is needed, at 6 I believe number 2 or 3 rod needs ground. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
