I have a D950 Kubota Engine that i am considering rebuilding.

I would like to install new linears as part of the process.

Are the replacement sleeves the proper size to recieve a piston or will I have to have them machined once pressed into the block?

I am trying to avoid having to remove the engine from the tractor.

Any information would be appreciated.

The part number of the li
near is 15531-02310.

I don't think these engines are what they call a sleeved engine. I believe that removing and installing the sleeves is an involved difficult process. I am no expert and someone else will chime in soon.

I am sure that I will be able to remove the sleeves, but i am more focused on the replacement sleeve and whether it has to be machined.


I am hoping that I can find some that are already the prescribed bore size-75mm inside diameter.

I do not want to remove the engine from the tractor.

I found the below thread within this forum and it was very helpful.

http://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=434&highlight=liner

I am still curious as to why there inside diameter of these dry liners would not be the correct size. Why once the liners were installed they still have to be machined to size.

This thread mentions that the even before the liners where pressed into the cylinder block the pistons would NOT fit inside them.

I thought I found a parts seller on the internet that sold liners that were the correct inside diameter. I will take another look.

below is the web site and product details for a finished liner.

http://www.originalbest.com/enquiry.asp?ename=KUBOTA&offset=12&model=&oem=
Because the finished dimension of a Kubota sleeve is so thin (1mm) it is impossible to get them fitted with enough "interference" if you use a so called finished sleeve. You can buy finished sleeves and install them, but all that is holding the sleeve in there is friction so it will never be as secure as a unfinished sleeve that is then bored to the correct dimension.

No one makes finished sleeves for these engines.
You will need to have semi finished sleeves installed and have them bored to size.

So I guess there's not a so called in frame overhaul kit?

Vendors often make inaccurate claims.

I have no experience with a D950 but I have installed prefinished .040 (1mm) wall sleeves in Fords. Interference on them is .001/.002. I even make and sell an installation tool for them. Without a full length support they are easy to break and/or deform....

No not really.
One other aspect, in order to pull the crank and do crank bearings it requires the crank to be pulled out the back.
So you need to pull the motor to do that, and crank seals.
Pulling the motor on a L2350 is a walk in the park.
