I've had a 1954 TO30 for almost 20 years. It was very tired and worn. Started the tear down in October and finished in March.
New sleeves, new pistons, new connecting rods and bushings, oil pump rebuild, new main bearings, turned crankshaft, resurfaced flywheel, new ring gear for flywheel, head work with new valves, new water pump, new front axle pivot and the pivot pin hole reworked, new front spindles and wheel bearings, new steering arm connectors. Probably forgot something but that is a pretty good list. Oh yeah, new paint. Before anyone comments about the color being Massey red and gray, let me say I spent way too much money to not paint it the way I like..
I have used this site for lots of info, love it. The people on here are great. I believe I paid $2550 for it 20 years ago and just spent around $2500 on this rebuild. Hopefully good for another 20 years of mowing, bush hog work, tilling, etc.
