![third party image](http://www.tractorshed.com/gallery/pieces/v4670.jpg) I got about 3 hours of wrenching time today to work on my '39, so I decided I would remove the crank, pistons, valves, front cover, and cam. I also decided to try out my sleeve puller set (Serial Number 0001) that I got from The Old Hokie a few months back when he was making the prototype. The instructions were very clear, and the setup took less than a minute per cylinder. I used my impact drill to speed things up (the breaker bar in the pic was just to get the setup snugged up) and pulled all four sleeves in less than 5 minutes - without even working up a sweat. The puller worked amazingly well and was very simple and straight forward to use. My block had the thin .040" sleeves - and was no problem. I give the sleeve puller two thumbs up, and am greatly appreciative we have talented people like TOH on this board that has the skill to make these. Now - I can't wait to try out the reproduction of the original designed sleeve installer... Anyone sitting on the fence for one of these sets - get one before it is too late. Dan
