[AT] MF 1135 (MF 150 engine)

[Charles]

Some of you guys seem to have a lot of knowkedge about MF Tractors.  A 
friend of mine has a 150 MF, with a 4 Cyl gas engine that thrown a rod thru 
the side of the block.  What are his choices for a bolt in replacement, and 
any ideas where to start looking for one?

Thanks
Charles (Western NC)
