Just got the engine overhaul finished today. Got to get the Fuel, Oil, and antifreeze in tomorrow. I've heard about holes in the sleeves from the anti-freeze and dont want pinholes in my new sleeves. How do I avoid that ?? Any other suggestions before I fire it up??

I've posted the "story" and the pictures of the filter system on Tractor Talk. John

I hope you put in new rod bolts. If you didn't go back in and put some in so you don't have a rod through the side of the block.Also let it crank over to build up oil pressure before letting it start,maybe by keeping the engine fuel shut off pulled out if yours has one or if electric shut off pull off wire.

I've posted several times about that problem. I lost an engine on my 2440 because of "electraulysis". A very good, long-time Deere mechanic, gave me a remedy for the problem. Deere sells a "retro-fit" kit for the 4000 series tractors. It is easily adaptable to the 2000 series. It is a filter for the cooling system. It uses a filter that looks like an oil filter. If you will e-mail me, I will take a few photo's of the filter, and the "plumbing for it. It will be sometime this week-end, before I get the chance to take the pictures. It took less than 1200 engine hours, to destroy my 2440's engine. I bought it from it's original owner, who apparently didn't take any precautions with the cooloing system. It MUST BE kept clean. E-mail me at [email protected] Good luck. John
