Goede Dag Menno,

I've been talking to a guy in Duitsland who is thinking about buying a '46 B from a guy in Nederland who owns over 40 2 cylinder John Deeres. If you're interested, it might help to get in touch with this guy. No taal vertaling or metric vertaling.

Goed geluk,

Steve

I think this is funny, because I gave a man in Duitsland, I think his name was Hans Bauer, a adress in Holland where he could buy JD. The name off the guy in Holland is Siep Dooper, I know him verry well. He life's �25 KM off my place.

So yoy see the world off JD in Europe is smaller then in the States.

thank you and good luck (bedankt en veel geluk)

Menno

Menno,

Yes! It is funny! The guy in Duitsland is a Bauer - boer, and his name is Hans. I thought Siep Dooper was rebuilding those JD's from Canada -- but guess not. Bet he likes being famous on this side of the Atlantic!

What part of Holland are you in? I spent some time in Nijmegen and Arnhem years and years ago. My friends there sent me a hat that reads: Hup Holland Aanvalluuuuu h! I think they have become football crazy.

If you ever get a Holder, my cousins down close to Metzingen in Duitsland have rebuilt a few of those. Meanwhile G-Man is giving you the right idea for the bore on your A.

take care,

Steve

Menno, standard "A" bore is 5.499" to 5.501", so a .045" overbore would end up being 5.544" to 5.546". However, if you want to do it "right", you should wait until you have the pistons in hand and have the bores finished to provide the proper clearance for each piston, as they could differ slightly in diameter. Recommended piston skirt clearance (cast iron pistons) in an "A" is .005" to .008". You could probably just have the block bored without fitting the pistons and be fine, due to the .003" cushion in skirt clearance, but you may as well have it as accurate as you can.

Thanks

You say that the recommended skirt clearance is 0.005 to 0.008. What do you say about 0.003, is this oke or to small or better.
The translation for me is sometimes a little diffecult to know preciesl what you mean.

The .003" I referred to was the allowable difference in the piston skirt spec - .005" to .008". Like I posted, your best bet is to have the pistons when you have the block bored, so they can be fitted to a respective bore. Then you know everything will be correct. Good luck with the "A".
