The A revisited.

Posted by mk on April 09, 2001 at 19:51:43 from (216.227.156.57):

Hi, in my previous post I was informed that 60psi was on the low side for
compression on my 47 A (should be around 90-120psi).

My first question is could part of the low compression be due to the fact
that I was turning the engine over by hand (with the hand crank)? I don't
see where it would have a drastic effect, but I'm still curious.

The second is if the pistons and Sleeves look like they're in good shape
(which I suspect they are) would rings and a hand lap valve job, or having
them refaced be a sound solution? Right now the tractor runs quite smooth,
and doesn't smoke, so I think it just needs to be tightened up.

Thanks for your feedback,

Matt
PS, where can I find the IT Shop Manual for my A online?
