Hello guys. Got referred here from the farmall forum. Have a 2606 backhoe with c221 sleeveless that you can't get firecrater pistons for anymore. Just ordered some made by Egge machine for 1800 bux. Then it was suggested I can get a 301 crank, rods, and pistons.
New pistons and rings can be ordered from reliance by the local machine shop or I can order them. I found a local junkyard here in Kansas that has used rods for 25 bux each. They have a couple cranks but want 650 bux but then it would cost me another 60 to polish and 200 to regrind if needed. That would get me close to 1800 again. But going from 221 to 301 ought to pick me up a few more horses.
Found tractor parts asap online that listed a reman crank for 500 but it is not in stock.
My original pistons were rusted in and the block has already been bored 60 thousands over and pistons were ordered in that size but there is a 10 week wait.
So if anyone here can help me find some parts I would appreciate it. Going up to Abilene machine tomorrow to pick up a new 17 gpm hydraulic pump so I will see what they have. Thanks
