It was probly mid 60's when our 49 B needed an overhaul. Took it to John Deeler and when got it down found it needed proed. John Deere did make a oiston to fit so we pulled it home thinking we were going to have to junk it. I don't remember how we found out but a guy just a few miles from us was a part time mechanic under a shade tree (he worked in a factory) talkedd to him and he was able to come up with the size pistons needed but at that time we did not know anything about aluminum or cast or anything otherwise about engines so when he said he could get it fixed we said go ahead.
