All together now, "Think Warm Thoughts". Right now when you walk across the 'snow', you leave no tracks. You are either Chuck Norris or it is really that cold.
This month, aside from a few bearings, seals and electrical things; there is not much new to look at. Next month we will finally be stocking those 10A4967 and 10A10923 grease hoses for the food clutch throwout bearings. Unlike the other hoses out there, ours do not have the steel braid that causes the hose to kink and crimp shut. They will also have the correct original style ends and will include the proper brass swivel. No more dry throwout bearings.
A few months ago we finally got serious about the piston situation. For some time the usual piston sources have had nothing but bare shelves and slim pickings for Minneapolis Moline tractors. Starting this spring that all changes! We will have "Big Honkin Pistons" on the shelf and ready to ship.
We now have our own custom tooling to replace the classic 10P2962 aluminum 'Big Power' 4.75" gas piston. Now you can rebore any 4.625" bore Moline engine one eighth of an inch over to make those old cylinder blocks roar again. We will also be offering this same type piston in a 4.625" bore with sixty and ninety thousandths overbore. Right now the shop is making custom rings to fit these pistons, which will be a stock item for us.
We have not forgotten the folks that run 206 engines. The tooling is here to make new aluminum pistons in twenty, forty, and sixty thousandths overbore. Again; the rings to fit these pistons will be a stock item.
We are now compiling the engineering data for the EE engine pistons that are in the R series tractors. We plan on duplicating the top 'compression mound' that was found on the majority of these pistons. We are not sure if there are enough people out there that need these pistons, to justify the insane tooling costs. If you are interested in pistons for the R tractor engines; please drop us a line and let us know what size overbore piston you would like us to make.
That's' all for now. Spring is rapidly approaching and we have to get back to work. Soon it will be time to plant the fields and drag those sleds......................................
