SM block=Kicked in the mouth

Elvin Frank · Jun 5, 2012

Finally got my SM block to the welder to get the sleeve out the cylinder, well sleeve came out easy enough but found a crack in the cylinder leading to a plug about the size of a 50 cent piece thats busted out also found some metal on the plug that looks like some old braze, oh well guess I need to find a block to put the new parts in that have already been bought, if anyone knows of one in good shape priced reasonalbly close to louisiana shoot me an email. [email protected] thanks and happy tractoring

a good machine shop can sleve that block and then set the outer sleve in it have a bunch of m,s that way

I agree with Jakee sleevein the block after boring out the old casting remains, then boring the repair sleeve for the correct dry sleeve is standard practice. If the cracking is local to the broken cylinder, and does not go through to other cylinders, or oil passages, it is good to go. Jim
