Pulling Sleeves on a 1928 Farmall Regular

Hey all! Ive been restoring my 1928 Farmall regular and I've got it pretty much all apart with exception of the crankcase and cylinder sleeves. In the last post i had about the tractor I was trying to figure out how to pull the flywheel. Well I got it pulled with a puller I came up with using old iron from a cultivator and a 12 ton hydroponic jack. I will post some pictures of what I came up with. But right now I am having the issue with pulling sleeves. I do not have a sleeve puller or a lathe to make pucks to fit in the bottom of the sleeve. The ID and OD of the sleeves are as follows: F20/Regular-------4.110 3.740 noted from Nebraska Kirk in a previous thread. I have absolutely nothing to make these with! I have to pull them to replace the O-Rings on them and I need to replace one because its really badly pitted on the top of it and there is a very deep groove from where one of the piston rings rusted into place. If I could borrow one or have someone lend me one for a day that would be ideal. I would make them myself or have someone make them for me but I know of no one who would do it for really cheap... Anyways any help is appreciated!
Thanks guys!

PS These pictures of the sleeves are before I cleaned up this area and took out the pistons to they look a lot cleaner

You only need one puller[puck]and you got a lot of leeway there, some one with a machine shop can make one,easy in a hour, i would have the center drill for a inch and a 1/8, hole, and get a fine threaded 1,in bolt. The machine shop i deal with would make you one and ship it too you, Matt would make that in a 15 minutes. They would also have the blocking material to u could buy!

The sleeves stick down lower than the block so any 1/2" plate steel cut with a torch larger than the bore and ground smooth will work.
If you don't have a shop press than you will be using a treaded rod 5/8" with nuts to make your puller. Once the sleeve pops most time a block of wood will tape them out. There has been many pictures on here of guys making the own pullers.

Ben,

Good to see you are making headway on your Regular! Looks like the puller you made for the flywheel worked great. Glad to see it coming along. As far as a sleeve puller goes - You can make nearly anything work. Wet sleeves (in my experience) are easier to remove than dry sleeves. As stated above, once they pop loose, you can typically use a block of wood and a hammer to get them the rest of the way. I have attached what I used for a puller on my '47 M - again, this tractor has dry sleeves so the puck on the puller had to fit inside the block bores, but still have an inside shoulder for the sleeve so that it could be pulled through the block. Those sleeves took quite a bit of pressure to get out. Essentially, it was a couple pieces of bar stock with a 3/4 hole punched through the center, then welded one on top of the other. Took some threaded rod, and had a friend turn a sleeve cup on his lathe. Used a couple pieces of scrap 4X4 timbers to space it up from the engine block, and started pulling upwards. (You probably saw the video on YouTube of the process I used on my M)... If not, link is below.

Good to see you making progress!
