Re: 1946 B.F. Avery Model A Tractor Restoration
Brad's Machine Shop (no relation) in Gainesville, GA cleaned up my block and crank and did the valves. I've never assembled an engine without the safety net of someone looking over my shoulder and I've seen this for a while as my chance. Like a lot of things on this tractor, there was very little wear. If not for 2 and 3 cylinders being rusted to the pistons, we could have almost gone standard. As it is, you can only get 20 over rings, so that's what we did. The crank was 10 under and it all came back clean as a whistle.
PS I love how you don't need a cheat sheet to decipher those casting numbers.
