Making money on this tractor is not job #1. I could care less about that. Its been in my family since nearly new back in 1952! I have a hard time believing the glue will work for a long period of time without breaking down. It only says sleeve retainer.....Does not distinguish between engine piston sleeves, transmission sleeves, or kitchen faucet sleeves! Talked to several dealers and no larger sleeves available, talked to the company (red power) the sleeves came from...they only make 1 size! One local shop is out of business, next is sloppy on work, next is gonna price themselves out of business!
Somehow I will figure this out!

How in the world do you do it the "rightest" way if there is only one size sleeve available as of 2010? I guess it seems like everybody knows the best way to do it, but that doesn't seem 100% possible/cost prohibitive.
You could always have someone machine a different sleeve, but you would probably be better to buy a new motor and try again. You could always say to heck with the sleeves and run them in the big hole!!! You could also run Super M sleeves and have the holes opened up bigger and bigger until you get the perfect fit.
