That bore and sleeve is good for any use. I have had that done. But as it is a musieum display it is not going to be run hard or heavy for long pierides of time so I have a different idea. Just hone it and forget about it not being glass smooth all the way. That and possibly just a new piston, might not even need that and new rings. Years ago I rebuilt a Kohler engine is small engine class at adult school. The cylinder was in very poor shape with some vertical slight grooves. The rings were stuck so bad had to chisel them out of piston groves. Instructor said it had to be bored would not run without it. I did not have the money for that and said I will just put it back together with just a hone and new rings. Used it heavy for years with no problem and no oil usage. When it finally did hafe problems it just died all at once because the head of the piston busted off in a ring grove. Now remember I said I had to chisel out the old ring, that probably started a hairline crack to eventually get to the point the piston head poped off. If I had put a new piston in at overhaul time I think it would have lasted for more years. Remember this was full load at full throttle all the running time. Your tractor will not be doing that and as long as the roughness is not to where it will catch thr rings you would have no problen for the next 50 years. Might loose 1% on compression and increase oil usage 1% and perhaps have to clean that plug 4 times as often as the rest but it will work. Remember where I said my instructor said it would not run, whele it was good for over to years untill the top of the piston came off and condition I said piston was in that I probably should have replaced but did not, Never had it use oil or low power.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
