I reciently had to tear down my H because it broke a piston and sleeve, shattered more like it. I was trying find my cheapest place for parts and was asked all types of questions I wasn't ready for yet. I spent most of this morning reading the archives and now I am even less sure of what I want to do. This will be long but here it goes.
I've always had good oil presure and don't have any leaks from my main bearings. The rod bearings have all looked good with no signs of scratches or wear. Right now it has the flat head pistons with the 3 7/16 sleeves and head number 8043-DC. All I want to do is replace the pistons and sleeves and I was thinking of going with the fire crater or step sides I read about this morning.
I only use this tractor for lawn work and plowing snow in winter, with the occasional leveling of a dirt pile. Does this sound like a good plan for someone that is a bit low with the funds right now. Or am I wasting my time?
