rustred said: (quoted from post at 13:35:44 10/13/08) as for the paint i would go with the mccormick deering grey . that gray is an exact match to the original gray . everyone else is a supposed to be a close match.may as well make it original. some of them grays look like hell. as far as sleeves and pistons that will be tough. on these old 1000 RPM engines it dont have to be new. give it a good hone job and check sleeves for pits. a few small pits dont hurt anything either. you will never hone .020 with a hone . thats boreing bar work. check pistons, if ring grooves are not worn too much all you need is a set of rings.that engine will still out last you. i am sure you wont be in the field every day pulling a breaking plow with it. back to honeing i think it would clean up with only a couple thou. removed. sure you may have staining and slight pits but that will be fine. every body talks about soaking them and getting them started and i will tell you those sleeves are in a lot worst shape than yours will be. good luck.
Do you mean the stuff from The Fordson House, or McCormick Deering.com (both I believe made their match from painting a sample from a NOS can)? No doubt, some grays just don't look right (done a Regular too light myself quite a few years ago).
Soaking and starting.... :oops: yep, I can't deny that myself, and I've found that even if I can get smooth running, power loss can get apparent real quick. The sleeves are .015+ in wear about 1" down, so that's why I figured .020 after cleaning them up and honing. That Regular I just noted with an ugly color, I left about like that with just new rings (though it hadn't been stuck, just very wore out) and actually doesn't seem too bad. I just hate to do something that may 'backfire' when it's not mine.

Today's Featured Article - Gatherin of the Orange - by Rick Nikolich. In July of 1998 I was talking to fellow Allis Chalmers collector Mike Schilling about the annual "Gathering of The Orange" AC show coming up in August of 1999. He got this wild idea that we should get a convoy of AC tractors and drive them from Charlotte, Michigan 105 miles to LaGrange, Indiana.
