I'll admit I've never had any work done at a shop until this week. I'm rebuilding my MF 230 Perkins that spun a rod bearing. I took the crank and pistons to a shop recommended to me by some very good mechanics that does their work. Well I picked them up yesterday and I did a little dickering and got the price to $185.00 for reworking the rods and turning the crank. That may be a good price I don't know. I asked him how much to change the sleeves out if I furnished the sleeves. He said $300.00. Now that seems a bit much to me what do you guys pay for something like that? It's got me to thinking if the ones in it look good and the pistons look good I might just leave that alone. After all it only ran for a couple of years on a major overhaul before the pump wet out and spun the bearing and it never run hot when it did. All help appreciated. Thanks.

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
