Farmall M sleeve

[gottm1]

Hello I'm looking for one 4" sleeve for farmall M. I cracked one installing last weekend. Thanks

gottm1, are you getting those sleeves good and cold before you try to shove them in? gm

They were sitting outside over night and it was 2 degrees. So yes I hope that was cold enough!

How was you putting those in using a plate and driving them or pulling or press them in

Did you heat up the block?

You may want to run a honey up and down the bore of the block to clean it up and get the crud out before putting the sleeve in. I ran into the same thing when I rebuild mine and had to do that.
