'39 H JD. I had to get new pistons for it. I noticed the wrist pins slid out of the old pistons easily, but I couldn't get the new pins to go into the hole in the rod. I've seen some rods that need the wrist pin pressed in, so I figured they might be an updated design or something. I don't own a press (yet),but I DO have a big old shop vise. The result was a brand new piston reduced to a piece of scrap aluminum( actually 3 pieces). I later found out the wrist pin bushing in the rod was undersized.
Come on, guys top that so I won't be the one that's pulled the stupidest stunt. LOL
