Just another project .Thought you guys might want a look.(pi

Well knee deep into another tractor.Got this one with a cracked cylinder.So I'm doing a in frame re-ring job.Pulled all cylinders to install new seals.Cleaned up pistons and installed new rings.Going to put them back in over the weekend.Be nice to see her run .I'll keep posting as I make progress .Got to stop hauling this stuff home.Take Care All.

I'm triing to control my urge to bring more home as I have enough already and costs are increasing even the little parts add up fast not to mention tires. Also bills and taxes increase faster then wages so don't have as much to play with. enjoy that iron ssss

Blaine:
what did you do to the cylinder sleeves? Are those new ones or did you clean-up and machine the old ones?I haven't ever been thaqt deep into a tractor engine.But have one that needs new rings. Educate me. thanks gobble

Where do you get bare sleeves and how much are they? My limited experience with these tractors, seems like the only "reasonably priced" parts are the complete rebuild kits.

Heres the story on the sleeves.I pulled them out sand blasted .Ran them on the cylinder hone and checked them for size.A few had some wear in them ,but this is a parade trator.So the little bit of wear will not hurt a thing.If this was going to be a working tractor I would of replaced them.If I can do a good job re-uses somethings .It helps to keep the cost down.No sense in spending $ 500. bucks on engine kit when I can recycle.Piston also had some stuck and rusted rings.Removed them and scraped groves with a ring broke in half.Makes a good grove cleaner.Washed pistons and rods and installed new rings .I bought them from right here at YT along with some gaskets.Sleeves I got from a buddy that has alot of engine cores.(thanks Eldon).I watched Ebay for awhile and bought one ,but when I cleaned it up it had a hole in it.I guess you just have to watch .So you can find the parts you need.Sleeve seals one set came from YT and the others from Napa.Reason for that is was only going to take the one sleeve out and ended up pullinng all 4.I think so far I'm in this job about $100.00 bucks.Going to touch up the cylinder heads as well.Hope this information helps.Thanks for the replies.Keep the tractor wheels turning.Until next time Good Day.BlaineF(WA)
