I'm thinking seriously about turning out some sleeves for a model NLA..............been searching some places, looks like centrifugal cast pipe is the way to go? Any other input?

L.A. Sleeve will make smallish quantities of any sleeve you want, cheap. Some people do complain about them being a bit soft (See Michaels, Joe, above) but for the price, and considering your tractor won't be seeing 100,000 miles, worth a look ?
It hasn't been stated what tractor or engine we are talking about. That would certainly narrow the "search" down.
LA Sleeve is my go to. I have them in my big bore stroker Triumph Trident
The NLA stands for no longer available....................the Dura bar "pipe" was the top choice, at 600+ dollars, should render 6 sleeves, making it somewhat affordable, If you don't count my labor, not doing it for profit, fortunately.
Will try some of the suggested vendors, they could knock them out much quicker than my little operation could
It would still be rather helpful knowing the make and model of the tractor. There are a lot of resources for old tractors out there and other folks may know of a source for sleeves that you haven't found yet.
I recently went through a long search for upper seals on the steering motor on my 1966 Ford tractor. They were a dealer only item ($185 for the pair) but have been NLA for a while. With enough sleuthing I discovered that the seals from a 1968 Camero PS steering box are identical and readily available from Napa for under $10.
