Dixieland,

I don’t know if this is fact or not but I was told once that a new replacement sleeve and piston were a matched pair, and shouldn’t be swapped around.

If what you are feeling is the lighter aluminum, you will be amazed at how much smoother the engine will run with the aluminum pistons compared to the old iron ones. Aluminum pistons have less weight to start and stop, resulting in less stress on the crank and bearings too.

All my tractors have aluminum pistons in for at least 30 years and I’d never go back. I even saw an aluminum piston in an F-20 once (I still have it) that had a hole in it that was welded shut. It looked like a valve head had broken off and went through the piston. Somebody was brave and skilled enough to weld the piston and it ran that way! Aluminum pistons are nothing to worry about…

My 2 cents
