[AT] John Deere A

Walt,

What vintage of A is this?  I might be able to help you out on gaskets
and pistons.  If you want, email me off list at atis at srstractor.com .  I
will need the serial number, so I can price stuff to you correctly.  If
you sleeve, I don't think you will find much of a savings after you are
done.  That is if everything is done correctly.  It depends on how much
wear and fatigue is on the piston skirts and pin holes.

Ugly Green thing.
Ok so I had to  work on it anyway. We pulled the head today that thing
is 
heavy. The cylinders  look bad but I might be able to save them if I can
get the 
piston out they are  stuck. I will a gasket set and maybe sleeves I hope
not 
but it looks like I may  need them now. I hate to tear something this
far down 
and put it back together  with bad parts. If there are any little things
that 
I should know at this point  it would be nice. This is my 1st old JD to
tear 
down I have worked on newer ones  but they ain't the same thing. 

I found a gasket set for about $90  does that sound like a good price.  
Pistons however are GOLD.
