3010 lp pistons

[JD4440]

3010 lp needs new sleeves and pistons.
All the kits I have found fit gas & lp tractors but they are recessed top piston which I believe to be 7.5 compression.
The factory pistons are flat top and 9.1 compression.
Could a really good welder make the recessed pistons flat top? Any ideas?

Yes, a GOOD welder could. I've had some aluminum diesel pistons welded up and milled before with no trouble.

There should be a flat ripped portion of the piston that approaches within 20-40 thou of the flat quench area of the cylinder head .
The resulting turbulence reduces the tendency of detonation.
