Hello All. Brought the FIL's H home that was used just for mowing. The engine was locked up, left exposed and water got in #2 cylinder. Had it soaking for 6 months, but wouldn't budge. Took head off and still couldn't get it loose. Had to take out liner and piston as a unit. (3 7/16 bore) Liner is shot, piston may be salvageable and of course rings bad. Economics being a concern here, should all the liners be replaced with new pistons and rings, just the bad liner and piston, or could used parts be used? The best scenario for me would be to get a good used sleeve with its mating piston and rings and I use the connecting rod from the engine on the piston. Thoughts and help would be appreciated. FIL passed last year and tractor was 100 miles away in a field. One last thing, tractor is now in the heated garage and the wife's car is sitting out in the cold which makes it a little more painful for me! Thanks, Allan.
