She's old and tired and maybe a D153 engine( 4 cylinder) ? Looking for ANY links/info/manuals/pics of it. Tried looking for Cockshutt30d,supposed to be same(?) but no joy.
Found ONE site ,just has main bearings and a couple of seals.
Since it has low compression( a bear to start with ether when the suns out) I figure it needs rings, probably sleeves/pistons/etc.
Any help is appreciated...work to begin when( IF !) Spring ever arrives up here.15*F,sigh.

Pistons, sleeves, rings, etc should be the same as WD-45 diesel. Don(MO) seems to be the forum expert on those Buda engines. Could also try Norm Meinert.

sigh.. have decided that 'complete kits ( sleeves/pistons/rings/??) is the way to go but trying to find a local rebuilder has NOT been fun. Then there's the 4 ring vs 5 ring question as there were different pistons put in them....
I KNEW I should have bought the I600 forklift last December.....
