Recently discovered a crack on a piston I pulled out of my U. The crack is about 1/2" long starting right at the top of the wrist pin and travelling upwards (side of piston not ground) It's not openened up, but you can feel it with your fingernail.

Is this piston shot or can it still be used? The tractor might get 50 or 60 hours a year when everything is all said and done, show tractor only.

John,

Let me know what piston you have, and I will see if I can help you out there. If it is a standard size piston I probably can on the cheap! Just give me an email.

I would recommend using a different piston. A cracked piston may work for a while, but it could break when the tractor is running and could damage parts inside the engine.

I would suggest trying to come up with another piston.

On a U you need to know if it has the setscrew to lock the pin in the rod. Some Us have had later pistons with full floating pins installed. By full floating, I mean the pin is free to turn in both the rod and in hole in the piston. And the pin is kept in place with snap rings.
