Hi Jim, I was wondering why you used the 3-inch pistons. These tractors amaze me with all the abuse that most of them had to endure. I don't think the Farmall A that I restored ever had the oil changed. As sludged up as the oil pump screen was, I often wondered how the engine ever had any oil circulating through the engine. The crankshaft was only .002" undersize on the mains and rods. The shaft wasn't scored, but it was a bronze looking color. The machine shop got me .002 under bearings from Federal Mogul. I bought new valves, guides and springs and had them to do the head too. I got the sleeve kit from an IHC dealer. I had it running by spring and I plowed my garden with the plow that came with it. After I finished the tractor I took pictures and stopped by to show the pictures to the woman that had owned the tractor, she said her dad had bought the tractor new and would be happy if he had known the tractor was again running. He had died earlier. It pulled the plow like it wasn't even on there. Only turning 1540rpm's it should last a long time. Good luck with yours, Hal
