I have a person who will do the boring and sleeving on my John Deere D but the company he was getting sleeves from is no longer making sleeves that big. Could anyone tell me where I could get sleeves to bring it back to 6 3/4. That way I can reuse the High altitude pistons I have.
Thanks!

Austin,
I had a "D" sleeved in Canada recently. The shop in Montreal was able to get sleeves - very expensive up here.

A note of caution - I am not a "D" expert. I got several differing opinions on the following; it seems that the oil ring on the "D" travels to the very bottom [back] of the cylinder bore. The common sleeving procedure is to leave a step at the bottom of the bore to secure the sleeve. I was told that if you do this on a "D", the oil ring will drop into the step and snap off. Some machine shops leave the sleeve 1/2" longer to prevent this. About .050" of the JD oil protruded past the end of the bore into open space - I couldn't believe what I was seeing. Several people said that this is normal. I don't doubt their word because they are much more experienced than me, it just seemed very weird to me. Deere lengthened the original stroke by 1/4", presumebly to raise horsepower. I'm sure they ran engines for 1000's of hours with the oil rings partially exiting the bore with no problems! I just had difficulty with the concept. I had a custom oil ring made that didn't have a scraping land at the back side of the ring - very anal I know!

E-mail if you would like to discuss further.
