I know this is not crawlers, but a friend of mine needs a set of Deere "B"
pistons. He says he's tried all over the internet, but I thought maybe someone here may have a source or something.

Hi, Lavoy.
OK...My friend needs a set (2) pistons, rings, wrist pins and retainers.
He has a styled Deere B, Supposed to be a 1949
Ser # 255003

Here's the kicker...they need to be .090 oversize.

Thanks for any help, good bad or indifferent.

If you find something, I'll have him contact you directly.

What's it increase to. I think they only have about 6.5:1 ratio to begin with.

Unknown, but I would guess a half a point or so.

Hi, Lavoy,
Just talked to my friend about the pistons. He said he's talked to Steiners, Drapers and several other people about the oversize pistons. They keep promising them in 2-3 weeks, but this is going on for almost a year.
He's down to the point of going .120 over size of even resleeving the block back to standard, IF he can be guaranteed getting the pistons.
So, I guess the question is : are you sure you can get the pistons.
Thank you...

I can get one set of standard pistons at this time.

OK...I'll check with him and see what he wants to do. Probably won't see him 'til Monday.
Thank you
