I was in the process of installing high compression pistons in our T, and the last rod bolt stripped out. No big deal i thought, i went and got another one and pushed the stripped out one up to take it out,......it fell the wrong way DOWN INTO THE TRANSMISSION!!!

how i got it back....

I pulled the hogs head and took the bands out.
I then got an old cattle magnet and stuck it to the flywheel alittle more out than what the regular magnets are, then i turned the motor over by hand and it brought it back to the top!!!

If it ever happens to you try it! it sure beats pulling the motor!!
