I just keep getting in deeper on this thing. The engine was running when I bought this thing, but I never ran it over 15 or 20 minutes. I planned on painting and fixing a few things. Didn't plan on getting into the engine. Split it to fix bad seals, clutch etc. Now I have the head off. Oil pan off. All the seals need to be replaced, front and rear main seals. Found a burned valve, so the head is going to the shop.
My question is. I am so far into this thing, I am going to take the front bolster and radiator off to clean and paint, and want to take the frame rails off to clean and paint in back of. Since I am so far in, what would you guys do as far as rings, honing the cylinder walls, etc.?
I cannot feel much of a step in the walls of the cylinder. I want this tractor to be reliable, but will never work it hard. This is really a hobby thing and I know I am getting more $$ into it than it will be worth. But I cannot stand to put something together if it is not right. On the other hand I dont want to tear into something and fix things just for the heck of it, if not necessary. Does that make any sense?
