Well gents,
after doing some investigating on this 268 block in the shop. It turns out that its not out of a 7710 like i was told, the numbers cross to a 9030 versatile. Its still a 268 NH block tho.. As I mentioned before it has only 2 compression rings per piston. So after much scrounging I came up with a part number for replacement rings. I called my supplier and had sticker shock on the cost, so while i had them on the line i asked about replacement pistons. I was informed that they could get rings but pistons are not available thru them, they are a special "Bi directional piston" that wasn't used much. Can anyone explain this to me. IN simple English Please.. I did notice that the 9030 has a higher compression ratio. Is that it? Now im wondering do i just get a tractor inframe kit and proceed??
Beginning to think maybe this block needs to be a boat anchor..
Thanks
