Are you in Manitoba, when my JD300 was being re-built I found a local dealer with the overbored version of what you are looking for. Been a couple years and it was pricey but he said he could order for me. Someone here also offered....Turned out to be just a headgasket issue on my end..

Surprised the heck out of me they could order the parts still after trying to source a new recoil....(ended up just needing the spring and a bit of file work)..

If nobody helps here I might be able to go through my old notes to find the place...Think it was on main and it also did cylinder scoring etc. also.

FYI they were PRICEY from what I remember, person here was way cheaper.

I tried grothprod but have yet to get a reply will give them a few more day until I try again

Yes I am in Winnipeg, mb area and have two motors that i would like to rebuild, if you can find the business name pls let me know I will check them out. I really hope that I don't have to start all over with a new project I just want to drive the old girls with the nephew, but no pistons means no sled...

I just got off the phone with Growth products (Phone: 989-235-4294 Fax: 989-235-4990) 124 S. Lake St. / Crystal, MI 48818 or check out the webpage listed above, ps i did ask if he had any 10 over and they do not.
I ordered 2 sets (4 pistons) they are supposed come with everything ie ring pins and bearing Std size and he has more in stock was about 55 $ per piston and they ship to CANADA WEEEEEEEEEEE! can't wait. very nice man never did get his name just wanted to pass that on to others that may be looking I sure hope that this does not go against and rules on this form

I would call him rather than email I think they do better old school

At this time I have not Tried JDSledshed could also be a good lead

Thanks to all those who helped will re post when I get them and give my opion of them with pics
