| Have a block for a WD45 with main bearing caps that is stripped down and ready to rebuild. Will include a set of pistons and sleeves that are still in the box. My dad was going to restore the tractor but passed away before he could finish the project. How much should I ask for it? |

| There are 6 possible places for the block to be cracked in-between the bores. How many cracks does it have ?? |

Checked out the block, worked it down with sandpaper and found no visible cracks between the bores or on the top. My dad was a AC and a IHC mechanic all his life. I would have been surprised if he would have intended to rebuild a block that was cracked, but weird things do happen I guess. He had several WD's setting around and had intended to restore another one. |

I just paid $100 for a block plus Fastenal shipping. Sleeves and pistons, are they stock or 4 1/8 overbore, new or cleaned up? ------------- 1955 WD45 S#205467, 190XT #6652 DXT |
