Boring a two cylinder John Deere

At Haas Machine Co. we've always prided ourselves on doing the highest quality machine work possible for all your everyday machine shop needs. But if you need antique work done on your engine parts, this is the only shop you should stop at. We service antique and specialty parts from a wide variety of vehicles, including antique automobiles, muscle cars, tractors, military equipment, and marine craft.

Our expertise in this area is a byproduct of being in business for over 70 years. Due to the fact that many of our present machinists have been with the company for so long, they were able to work with former machinists who had been in our shop since the 1940's and passed on to them much of their knowledge and many of their skills. We also do extensive work on industrial engines, which have continued to use old time flat head valves and babbit bearing technology long after it had been abandoned in passenger and light truck vehicles, giving even more understanding and experience with older equipment. Since we work on these types of engines everyday, working on an antique engine is not a challenge for us. We routinely work on engines from the early 1900's while many shops have no idea how to work on an engine that is more than 30 or 40 years old. We also understand that many antique castings are in very rough shape, as they have been exposed to the elements or sitting for many years, and we have saved many of these old parts. We can repair many cracks, re-sleeve worn bores, make custom bushings and bearings, repair damaged threads, weld and repair valves, and often we can even find modern parts that can be converted for use in antique engines. The above operations are time consuming and expensive, but with an antique engine the only alternative is to figure out how to repair it. We pride ourselves on saving engines and parts that many thought were beyond repair.
