You can rebuild it in time Cush, call it "nesting".

I built a trailer while I waited, the boy was a week late.

Cush, Go the 850! have a look through your bits though, and make sure you pick a later 'thick tail' crank, those coil spring clutches are not worth bothering with either! :lol:

And if you do have any of the older , thin tailed cranks put them to one side wrapped in rags with a good coating of grease , it's getting harder to find a grindable 850 crank , especially since they are getting to be in demand .
