Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

Good ramble@Eugen. I know what you mean about things not going as you expected. Reminds me of the old saying, if you want to make god laugh tell him your plans.

I don’t remember the specifics off hand, but is it possible to reuse any of the sleeves and pistons and just rering them?

At least you got some good luck with the bearings!

Parts are here so no excuses now gotta get busy

Do you have it running yet? just kidding @Eugen !
Seriously I’m glad those parts finally came in!

He he guys, I wish I was that fast!

Something's come up that I haven't thought of. The rod wrist pin bushings are 1.625" ID. The old bushings need to be pressed out, and the new ones pressed in. I don't have a press that can do that. Also, after being pressed in they need to be reamed to a snug fit, so I've been reading on the right clearance and how to achieve it. Guess what, I do not have an adjustable reamer of that size. The cheapest reamer from Amazon is about $100 and I'm not even sure it's good enough to do this. Need to think some more how to tackle this...

Is it running yet. ?????? Hehe. Don’t worry Eugen, you’ll figure it out and have it going.
