first time rebuilding my 841
Just a little tip, make sure you clean the bores up real good before you pull in the new sleeves. They tend to close up some when you pull them in and you'll have to hone them to get the correct piston to bore clearance. I just went through it a couple of years ago and the sleeves in the kit... -

Thanks for the info. The red/gray combination on that tractor makes it sharp! -

861 Powermaster
tugman, I have a question. I'm currently restoring an 861 Powermaster gas and the color of the steering column shroud is grey. I've seen many pictures of powermasters and most all of them have the shroud painted red. I also have an 841 that was painted grey. I see that yours is also grey... -

Intermittent Spark
I assume that you mean 15 thousands (.015) and not degrees on the points. I'll just throw a few things out there to check; 1-Make sure your battery is hooked up pos ground and not neg ground. 2-Remove the breaker plate and check to make sure the advance weights are not worn out or...- rick38

Honing issues with new 861 sleeves
Its a Lisle. I would have started with a 80 but all i had was a 150. I have three roughed out and working on the 4th and the stones are worn out. You're probably right, i should have started with the 80. I may finish the rough on the 4th with the 180 and go to the 280 to finish all of them. They... -

Honing issues with new 861 sleeves
I'm in the process of rebuilding a badly rusted Ford 861. After pulling the new cylinder sleeves in the block (purchased the complete engine kit from YT) the sleeves closed up approximately .002 of an inch. So now I'm using a hone (not a "glaze breaker") to bring it back to the .0015 piston...
