Good job on the new post Hunter..
Just break it down into specific questions on what your working on first - second.... Sounds like you need ONE piston and liner, but not sure if you have a 138 or 149 inch motor ? When you get a chance to go look at the tractor, grab that motor serial number.

IF you set the head on a table , on its side , with the intake and exhaust ports pointing UP and you are looking at the valve heads..... you pour water or gasoline into the ports and look at the valve heads and see how bad they LEAK liquid into the combustion chamber... If you have excessive leaks you remove the valves and springs, wire brush the valves and the ports and seats......
then the "LAP" is actually polishing the VALVE face to match the head SEAT face to get a better seal... you put an abrasive paste on the mating faces and rotate the valve to "lap" it in... if the valves are REALLY bad, then the seat has to be "CUT" with a grinding wheel or steel cutter to get it close enough to "LAP". ..... here is an idea. |

Who told you to 'lap" the valves ??? If there is a compression problem, verified by a compression test, while the head was still on the engine, you need to GRIND the valves and seats. You cannot do this, unless you are a machine shop with all the valve grinding equipment that it takes to do such a job. So, let's have the whole story. Is the cylinder head off or on the engine ????????

Get yourself a GENUINE Allis Chalmers service manual. A parts book is also very helpful. As mentioned there are differences in those engine depending on the serial number and what might have been done previous to you. You need to properly asses what you have to know what you need.

If it was fun to pull in LOW gear, I could have a John Deere.
If you can't make it GO... make it SHINY |

I was given this tractor by one of my moms friends and it hadn't run in years the engine was seized from water damage. When we took the engine apart only 1 pistion was stuck. We pulled all 4 honed 3 and have to pull the fourth. The head is currently at my house disassembled and the rest of the tractor is still at my moms friend's house. One of my dad's friends told me to lap the valves. I haven't but the valves are out of the head

since it is already disassembled... you would normally clean the valves, do a little lapping and see what the seat looks like....if you hold one in and pour gas thru the port as mentioned, you can see if the "lap" is working or not... Normally a visual check can tell.
I would imagine your friend said to "LAP" , just as a standard CHECK when you have everything disassemble... to verify the seat is OK.

If that's the plate of doo-doo you've been handed, the valves should all go in the same exact location as they came from.

I dont think the head number will help much.. You need the MOTOR number on the back edge on the left side.... 10- xxxx or 12- xxxx ............ and verify the piston diameter to prove that it has not been changed from factory parts. ... since you only want to replace ONE of the pistons, it needs to MATCH the other three.

not a piston number... just measure what the diameter is.... 3- 3/8 , 3- 7/16 , 3- 1/2 inch ... ??

If you can match the piston number you are good to go.

John has a good point.. You have the other 3 pistons out of the motor... Look at the bottom side and see if there are any casting numbers...But still verify the motor serial number and piston diameter.

I'll check the diameter later.
I found this on the piston I think it said GE385. Either a 5 or a s |

Sounds like a 149 C.I. engine. IF that is an s, standard, not bored...

It would sure be best to get a piston that matches the other 3. That will keep the motor balanced and run smooth... If you cant find a "match" then your either stuck buying 4 pistons , or miss matching the 3 + 1 and see what happens..
again, your piston should be something like 3.495 if it is a 3- 1/2 inch BORE in a 149 motor...... if it really measures 3.470 ... thats ODD.... What does the cylinder bore measure ? if you MOTOR serial number is 10 - xxxxx then it would be a 138 inch motor and the bore would be 3-3/8 inch ( 3.375) ..... so the piston would be about 3.37 inch

I'll take the piston to the tractor shop as well to make sure the measurements are correct

Hunter, i am not familiar with the FACTORY design on the D12 piston... But MOST allis pistons are not domed like that. You may have an aftermarket piston already.. Maybe someone more familiar with the piston will chime in here....

so thats a shadow on top ? The piston is FLAT or does it concave DOWN ( dished in ).
