Hi Old fashioned farmer,

I a work as a mechanic, and if you are going to use the tractor for real farm work I would fix up the bore. Also I would check the pistons for free play, rods, and depending on how the oil presure is you might want to check the main and rod bearings for wear. The reason for the main bearings is if you rebuild the top end it brings the engine"s power back up to original levels.

The bearings however are not new, though and now they have all of this extra wear and pressure put on them by the new top end overhaul, so they will fail sooner if you use it.

Sorry if this is unclear, my English is not perfect.

If you have any other questions please wrie back and I can see if I can help you.

God bless,

Pawel
