9N motor rebuild

[Ken(WI)]

I am going to have a guy completely overhaul the motor on my 9N... sleeves, cylinders, valves, oil pump, carb... everything. He says that I should buy the parts. My question for the panel is where should I buy them? I've heard some scary talk about what you can buy if you're not careful. I know that the good people who sponsor this board have such equipment. If their products are good enough for this crowd they're surely good enough for me. I'm looking for the best value. Your time spent in responding is appreciated.

I get all my stuff from nnalert, I have never had any trouble with them. There are lots of good places though,I once bought a sleeve from N Complete and it was a good part too. I have had good luck with those two places,,,

I buy most of my parts and accessories from either external_link or dennis carpenter . Excellent quality from both.

Ken,

I highly recommend nnalert. I bought all my rebuild parts from them 8 years ago and have been very satisfied.

So is he going to tell you what to buy - as in bearing sizes, types of valves, etc? It"s imperative you know that info before you order regardless of who you buy from.

He's going to tell me which sleeves, bearing size, oil pump etc., then I will order the parts and probably have them shipped to him. He is known as a rock solid engine builder who builds stock car racing engines here in central Wisconsin. He said that if he bought the parts from his regular sources it would cost me a lot more. He's not a tractor expert but he is a motor expert.

I believe the basic rebuild kit, sleeves, pistons, pins, rings, gaskets etc. is the same from most places including this site. It is a kit put together by TISCO. Ask when you order. The last rebuild I did last year this site was the cheapest. My previous rebuild I got everything from nnalert. Bearings and parts not in the kit are a different story. The main bearing I got from this site were the correct size but did not have the under size stamped on the back of the shell. All the parts I got from this site worked but seemed to be a slightly lower quality and lower cost then what I got from nnalert. This site did not have the adjustable lifters I wanted. I would go with whoever sells the cheapest rebuilt TSICO kit and get the remainder of the parts from nnalert.
