For a rusty cylinder I would use 180. Never tried anything more coarse than that. In a few seconds you will see where the low spots are, mostly where the rings stop. When these areas become apparent, stop. You are done. If the rust is in these low spots, do not try to hone them out. You will only oversize the cylinder. The rust will have to be removed with steel wool or sandpaper. A ball hone would take care of this, but a straight stone hone shows how bad the cylinder really is, and lend a clue to whether it should be resized.

To their credit, they do blunt the corner of the step where the ring travel ends, so the new rings dont strike it during operation. A straight stone hone will not do this.

The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
