This has been years ago (early to mid 50's) Dad had a 1929 Buick that was made into a buckrake that we put up all our hay with. It got so bad on blowby that it would only start by pulling any more. Dad decided to have the engine rebuilt, Mom's sisters husband was a mechanic and was going to do the work. Found out it would need boring, checked different places, all said the pistons were readily avaible and go ahead and get it bored, when bored done of them could get the pistons so only thing we could do was junk the Buick. Now had we gotten the pistons before it was bored out we would have been OK but no luck with that. Even if we could not get the pistons if we would not have had it bored we could have gotten new rings and put them in and it would have run but not as good as with the new pistons in a rebore. So before I do anything that is to change to sompthing other than the orignal or even with the orignal I make sure I have the new parts on hand before I start the job. That Buick buckrake we put a bed on when it was not making hay and was our only truck, would carry more than most 1/2 ton trucks. So I would say have parts on hand before boring no mater who supplies them.

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
