This is certainly an interesting discussion. My philosophy in this matter is that the sleeves look like they have very little wear and there is no ridge at the top, therefore I am not certain that they are worn beyond spec or to the point that it would bother me for what I am going to do with the tractor. If I get the tractor running and it smokes or clatters or otherwise shows that it needs a rebuild then I will rebuild it. If it has good power and does not smoke or make bad sounds I will happily leave it unrebuilt, since I do not put enough hours on my tractors to make much of an issue. I guess what it comes down to for me is that I would rather take a chance on a $120 price to get it running and see what it needs than pay $500 up front to rebuild it. If I need to rebuild it I will have wasted $120 whereas if I do not need to rebuild it and I do anyway I would have wasted $380. Maybe not the best reasoning but I am a cheapskate. Zach
