I have an H in which the motor was seized. My guess is it had been sitting for years and had water sitting in it. Anyhow, I stripped it down as best I could and sent it to a machine shop to be hot tanked. They also pulled the sleeves from the block and found cracks in the block along the cylinder wall in the number's 2 and 4 cylinders. The tech at the shop suggested they were the result of freezing of the coolant. I frankly don't know. What I don't like nor understand is their suggested fix. They want to mill all four cylinders and basically double sleeve them. This would come at a cost of about 2500, which is more than I paid for the tractor. Is there any other way to repair the block or should I just shop for another? I appreciate the feedback.
