JD300 Piston and Rings

Post by redhedkids »

So, I was wondering why my '74 300 wouldn't start.....did all the usual; checked spark, took apart carb and cleaned, checked fuel pick up etc....then found only 50 psi compression on right cylinder. I found that part of a ring had broken off scored the piston. So now its time for a new piston and rings, not to mention all new gaskets and seals while I have it apart. Problem is that the Kohler 295-2AX pistons and rings seem hard to find. If anyone has either a new or good used piston and rings, i'll buy them right away. Thanks.....Dennis
