I have a two owner 1175 with about 5500 hours. It has cracked the #4 sleeve three different times at 4000, 5000, & 5500 hours. At 4000 and 5500 hours it resulted from the tractor getting hot. Why would the engine crack the same sleeve three times? When I bought the tractor a guy tole me to have the counter bore checked (I think), and the mechanic that rebuilt the tractor the last time said the counter bore (I think) was fine. I havent pulled the piston yet, but the #4 sleeve is marred up, and all of the radiator fluid got dumped into the crankcase so I suspect the sleeve cracked again. The other sleeves look and feel good. What could be causing this. The tractor was hot, and the pump has been turned up...
