Hi All,
Looking for some advice on my SMTA.
Found some antifreeze in cylinder 4. Pulled head and had it checked, found cracks in it. It has the 8060 head on it. I found a 362174R1 head ( believe off a 400) that has a valve job, new seats and has been surfaced and am thinking of putting this on.
There are grooves in the top of the sleeves and the pistons have a little wiggle. So I am thinking on new sleeves & pistons. Searching this site & others, it seems while I am in there, I might as well put some higher compression pistons in there to get a little more power out of it. The pistons that are in there now are 357612R1. I measured the sleeve and it has a 4" opening. So some questions are:
Will the Fire crater pistons fit with the head that I am considering.
I see on this site that they offer rebuild kits and how do they compare to the fire crater.
They also say it is a 4 1/8" size, I assume that is an ID measurement of the sleeve and that these would fit in my block without boring.
Where is a good place to purchase fire craters, I have browsed some and not found a good source.
Not trying to make a puller out of it, but it is in great condition and plan on using it in our haying operation.

Here is my story of how I got the pistons out of a 1937 JD B that the engine had been stuck for about 14 years: About 12 years ago my Dad gave me one of the tractors I ran as I was growing up on our farm in central Nebraska. The engine on this tractor, a 1937 John Deere "B", had been stuck for 2 years before he gave it to me. This last spring (1999) I hauled the tractor to our 2 acre lot in St. Libory Nebraska where it joined my antique machinery collection, at that time a 1929 Caterpillar T
