Can you post a picture of your piston, or any part numbers stamped on them? I looked again and realize that by the time they resized my pictures even smaller than I had them it gets hard to see the dome shapes on the IH pistons (since they were not as shiny as the Tisco). If you need it I could try emailing you one of the pictures directly to get a little better view. The Tisco in the pictures (actually all 3 pistons) are 3-1/8" not 3-1/4". The Tisco is the one you get if you order for a Farmall C with the C-113 engine (3-5/16" lower sleeve OD). The 3-1/4" Tiscos I referenced in my earlier post look totally different. Again, they are ~1/10" shorter on compression height and have a single level, rectangular shaped, raised step on the head that sticks up maybe 1/4". They are the ones you get when you order a kit for the Super C with the C-123 engine (3-7/16" lower sleeve OD). If you have the original block in your 230 (see part numbers in the earlier thread) these won't fit without custom machining and custom O-rings. In the earlier thread you asked about the C-135 sleeves since that motor also has 3-1/4" pistons. I was in a hurry when I posted, but they won't interchange with the C-123(Super C block) because the lower sleeve OD is slightly larger than the 3-7/16", maybe another 1/64" (didn't memorize that one). Don't recall about the pin diameters, seemed like some of the later motors went to a smaller pin but I don't have my books in front of me. I have a spare set of C-135 std altitude firecraters at home and could check but that's a whole 'nuther animal. For the best compression, lowest cost, and easiest overhaul on that block I would recommend the tisco 3-1/8" piston set (just make sure you clean the casting flash/ridges off the top of their pistons to avoid hot spots and detonation). Or if money is no object ;) find a set of 140/240 firecraters. Stan(VA).

Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
