I was able to hone the cylinders over the weekend and I washed
the inside of the cylinders with soap and warm water. After
that I sprayed them down with sea foam which does a nice
job of cleaning and it leaves an oil coating that keeps
the rust away. I also removed the rings from the pistons
and then I cleaned the ring grooves and the carbon from
the pistons. I reinstalled the rings and checked the side
clearance of the rings in the grooves and they are
in tolerance. While I'm waiting for parts I decided to
removed the alternator which was half fast painted black
and I could see rust inside on the diode assembly.
I disassembled the alternator and found that from setting
for the last 12 years the wires to the diodes corroded
and flaked the insulation off. I sand blasted the
the black paint off the aluminum housing parts.
I bought new bearings and ordered a can of
red insulating varnish to recoat the windings.
I also sand blasted some of the tractor body parts for repainting.
