PGNS: Actually I have never done an engine job myself. When I was actively farming such jobs as this were always farmed out. In the early days there was a guy right in our village who specialized in 4 cylinder IH gas engines. As he got older even he was recomending taking engine to rebuilder. The closest I've come doing the actual work, I had a fellow come to my shop and put piston and sleeve kits in my 300 gas and 656D. Since I've had time to do the actual work myself, the opertunity has not arisen. I do however feel comfortable that I could do this. There are guys on here at your disposal almost daily. The old guy that first did my tractors was very fussy on keeping his shop and work area clean. It was a shop where local tended to congregate. He would not reassemble an engine with people milling about. He said they created too much dust. He would go back to shop in evening, lock door from inside, and no one got in. I have never had a tractor done without installing both pistons and sleeves. You maybe should shop a bit, these come as a rebult kit. Its been awhile since I've seen a price on it, but I'm thinking @600. - $800. Canadian money for complete set of pistons, sleeves, wrist pins, rings and gasgets. Of course the unknowns are condition of crank and head until you take the engine apart. The crank and head are items I personally would want pro advice on. Of course both would have to go to professional rebuilders. These my well not need attention. Try a get some more opinions, there are guys doing this work daily that take part on forum.

Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to
