I’m working on this Firestone and discovered that the connecting rod is stamped part number 3735-1853. The Firestone service manual part number lists it as 3335-1852. Doing some research, I did not see this part number used on the 7.5’s, but did find a reference in this forum that it applies to a 1957 3.6HP Firestone. Does anyone know if this is the correct rod for this motor? To my knowledge this motor has never been opened up.
I am also interested in locating NOS rings for this motor – part number 3335-1877.
