Sorry it's taken me awhile to get to this, I've been on the road all day and just getting ready to head out again. I put two pictures in Parts & Pieces (Farmall Pistons Side/Top views) comparing 3 pistons: a x30 series firecrater; a 3-1/8" tisco overbore replacement (advertised for the Farmall C with the C-113 engine); a x40 series firecrater. The x40 series firecraters (on the right in the pictures) or the tisco replacements would obviously give you the best compression, the layout of the domes are very similar with the tisco just being squared off where the firecrater is more rounded. The last several 30/40 series motors I've put together were with the 3-1/4 tisco's which have a solid single level raised step rather than the firecrater looking dome, and a shorter compression height (about .100), so they don't have any clearance issues. I don't think these would either since they are so close to the 40 series firecraters, but worse case would require a little rounding with a dremel tool on the domes. On the head, if you have the factory 30/40 series head, you already have the shallow combustion chamber version. IMHO If you want your tractor to last another lifetime or two (vs 1 pulling season) forget milling the head and just have them take off the minimum necessary to resurface it. Hope it helps,
Stan(VA).

We traveled for six and a half hours to our destination - a little country town with a population of no more then one hundred and fifty people (57 of them being children under the age of thirteen). We arrived hoping to meet up with a man we knew had over one
