DT1 flat track project

I got the DT3 bottom end that I'd bought on ebay taken apart for the rebuild. It looks to be in good shape. The connecting rod axial and side play are all within spec, the big end bearing feels fine, and no sign of any rust or moisture damage, so I'll likely end up just cleaning it up and using the crankshaft as is. I've got lots of cleaning to do on the cases, and I'll get new bearings and seals ordered. I used a steering wheel puller to remove the crank from the main bearings, but will need to either buy or make a tool to reinstall.
