    Wrong Piston for a 1966 Ford 4000?

    Yay! That was fast! Got 'em in the next day. And the shop made it right, it didn't cost me anything :D Onward with the re-assembly!!!

    Wrong Piston for a 1966 Ford 4000?

    Hey Scott, thanks for the sugestion. The rods measure / check out fine, after pulling the piston and setting it beside one of the old ones I pulled from the engine, there is definately a difference in pin position. Sadly, the machine shop ordered the wrong pistons for my engine.

    Wrong Piston for a 1966 Ford 4000?

    Hi Ultradog, It is too bad I don't have a 201 crank laying around, although the crank I've got now has already been turned down .010, and I have the bearings to match. It will be interesting to see what the machine shop has to say on Monday. With pistons costing $130 each, I can't afford...

    Wrong Piston for a 1966 Ford 4000?

    UGH! One delay after another on this tractor project. I had the machine shop order my pistons because (surprisingly) they could get them margionally cheaper then I could online. So, I installed them last night, and I think they may have given me the 201 piston, instead of the 192? Here are a...

    Wow, pistons for a 4000 192 gas oversized hard to find..??

    Yeah, I went to my shop the other day and was going to tell him just to sleeve it, but he had already machined it to .020, and managed to track down 3 pistons and ring sets for around $500.00. If you figure in the price of the sleeves, and the additional amount the shop charges to install them...

    Seed drill, how to use??

    Thanks Sid, I had thought if the drill was properly cleaned out after fertilizing, it would be fine. Some other details about the fields I have, after reading Don's reply it would appear I wasn't clear earlier. Everything is mowed, and cleaned up. In several places it is overgrazed. I...

    Seed drill, how to use??

    We just recantly bought this 15 acre farm that sat for 3 years previous with no one here (bank owned). Previous owners had several horses, and with no pasture management the fields are in pretty bad shape. Lots of woody weeds, brambles, and little hay. I nocked everything down with the flail...

    Power adjust 12" x 38" needed...

    Eventually, I will have my engine finished up and back in the tractor, and life will almost be good! However, my other big 'show stopper' is my right rim. The previous owner filled the wheels with something other then water, and I guess it was pretty corosive, because this wheel is really ate...

    Flail mowers

    I run a Mott flail, with the finish blades in it (fun time replacing them last year, 120+ flails) It does leave behind a good finish out in the pasture, I have used mine to mow down fields that had overgrown for a few years, and it did so withough much trouble. Takes out brambles, small...

    Wow, pistons for a 4000 192 gas oversized hard to find..??

    Rod: Okie, until about 5 minutes ago, I wasn't sure how cavitation may apply. Found this article, is this what you are refering to? (Article is about diesels, but I assume a gasser can cavitate if the cylinder walls are thin enough) http://www.oilburners.net/articles/cavitationartic.html

    Wow, pistons for a 4000 192 gas oversized hard to find..??

    After doing a bit more searching, it would appear I can get standard, or .040 for about the same price. .020 is about double the price, .030 are next to impossible to find. Sleeves are an option, cheaper, and I could possibially get away with using my pistons with new rings, HOWEVER the...

    Wow, pistons for a 4000 192 gas oversized hard to find..??

    Thanks Ultradog, I've kinda wondered the same thing about interchanging the pistons. Anybody have an idea why these pistons are relitively hard to get hold of? When I rebuilt my NAA last year I had no problems at all finding everything I needed. The 192 oversized pistons being hard to find...

    Wow, pistons for a 4000 192 gas oversized hard to find..??

    Looks like I may become a semi-regular here. :) My machine shop is going to take my cylinders over .020, and I've started trying to track down the pistons. They seem to be kinda scarce? Anybody got a source for them? Engine is a 1966 4000, 3cyl, gas. thx!!
