Hi All,
Looking for some advice on my SMTA.
Found some antifreeze in cylinder 4. Pulled head and had it checked, found cracks in it. It has the 8060 head on it. I found a 362174R1 head ( believe off a 400) that has a valve job, new seats and has been surfaced and am thinking of putting this on.
There are grooves in the top of the sleeves and the pistons have a little wiggle. So I am thinking on new sleeves & pistons. Searching this site & others, it seems while I am in there, I might as well put some higher compression pistons in there to get a little more power out of it. The pistons that are in there now are 357612R1. I measured the sleeve and it has a 4" opening. So some questions are:
Will the Fire crater pistons fit with the head that I am considering.
I see on this site that they offer rebuild kits and how do they compare to the fire crater.
They also say it is a 4 1/8" size, I assume that is an ID measurement of the sleeve and that these would fit in my block without boring.
Where is a good place to purchase fire craters, I have browsed some and not found a good source.
Not trying to make a puller out of it, but it is in great condition and plan on using it in our haying operation.

Today's Featured Article - 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
