Re: Case 680E
@Eugen I also learned the hard way that parts may not have been available at all in the last 10 years. Web designers and part suppliers like to have pretty pictures and cheap prices to suck traffic toward their site. When rebuilding the 188G Case gas engine 2 years ago only used parts were available or we could have reverted to custom made pistons to fit the worn sleeves.

Re: Case 680E
@Eugen I hate to hear that. I hope they really do come in April. I didn’t even think about parts not being available, but I guess I should have. I have run into this problem too. Some parts for Herbie the truck aren’t available or are hard to find. And I’ve run into the phony picture thing too. I guess there’s always a way around it depending on what we’re willing to do. If you have to use the old sleeves, will they still be in spec after you hone them? If so they may last longer than you think.

Re: Case 680E
I don't know Jeff, you're right, if I scratch hone them it might push them right over the spec. I placed the order today, and will wait for mid April see if they deliver. If not, I probably must stay with the old ones.JSinMO wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 6:34 pm @Eugen I hate to hear that. I hope they really do come in April.

@Spike188 yes, you told me to call and check for availability and you were right!

Re: Case 680E
@Eugen Even if you have to hone them a little oversized . It still be way better with new pistons and rings than what you had before .Eugen wrote: ↑Fri Mar 03, 2023 11:17 pmI don't know Jeff, you're right, if I scratch hone them it might push them right over the spec.

Even if it is only at 80% / that is still better than one dead and 3 lame cylinders trying to haul around a dead cylinder before a load was ever applied you at best had 40%

Re: Case 680E
Any chance of used parts in your area Eugen. I got used sleeves and pistons from a used tractor place in Ontario when I did the Ferguson tractor engine. I also got a block from him too. My engine had big crack down the side of it. New rings, bearings and gaskets, from the same fella too. So I put it all together and it works fine. That was 5 years ago. Doesn’t smoke, oil stays clean and rarely add any. Son had if going yesterday to clean up the little bit of snow we got.
So I guess what my ramble is meaning, is, it doesn’t have to be all perfect. It’ll run fine on worn or used parts. You not gunna go racing with it. I don’t think. Hehehe

Re: Case 680E
A few parts arrived. Full gasket set, head gasket set, valve seals, rod and main bearings. Sleeve and cylinder kits on back order. First they said estimated shipping date April 12. Now it got bumped to May 1st. I'm not holding my breath.
