OK, at the risk of sounding like a rank amateur in the tractor tinkering world...here goes. I've got a 300 which I'm considering installing a set of 3 5/8 firecraters in. The block with crank is still in the tractor, and I'd like to leave it there. Can I (drumroll please!) push each piston and rod up out of each sleeve, and then either drive each sleeve a' la the wood block method, or using a sleeve puller, remove each sleeve and insert the new ones without dropping the crank? I've never removed dry sleeves before. Are they any more difficult than wet types (like what my F-12 had)? Should I just not bother and close 'er back up? Thanks all, Zak

Zak, Just did it for the first time on our Super H! Was a little worried as I have seen the mechanics at work struggle real bad with the dry sleaves in a JCB shooting boom forklift(Perkins), I didn't need to weld at all, they popped right out with the sleeve puller. One thing that made the install job a breeze was dry ice...$15.00 for a block was pry the best money I have ever spent. Put the sleeve in the cooler with the broken up block, in the time it took to clean each bore, they shrank right down, and pushed right in! Good luck...let us know! Pete

You can accomplish the task as described very easily. I have done it both on my M and my H. Order the parts from a local machinist and they will usually let you use the sleeve puller for nothing. If the sleeve is totally rusted in place, you can run a bead or two of weld on the inside from top to bottom, which shrinks the sleeve for easier pulling. Just cover up the crankshaft with a leather glove or something so it doesn't get splattered with weld. Good Luck!

You can do it in chasis but you'll need a sleeve puller. Old Farmalls usualy aren't as hard to pull as a Perkins but they're generaly beyond "ye old hardwood block". Good luck, our 300 is about the handiest and most dependable tractor I've seen( although the 560's pedastal is almost as high) my brother and I will never part with it.
