You aren't alone. I bought a 885 David Brown (my first tractor) thet had 'never had the engine touched'. Would only start cold with ether. Sides blown out of each piston. Whoever did it must have been embaressed b/c they had filed the overbore marks off the pistons. I put standard size back in (I know better 25 years later) without checking to make sure the holes were standard. Tore it back down and found the #1 cylinder to be .030 over so I sent it to a commercial shop. They bored ever hole .010 over what it was............ but #2 was already to .040 over (they should have known to check). Had to bore it out and sleeve the block back to standard. Not as bad as a completely wrong engine but definitely stressful.
