More 931 Progress.

God came up and spent the day helping me with the 931. We went as far as we could with the engine as we could. Heads and rods are in the machine shop. got the butt of the old girl buttoned up. laided the crank into the block and bolted the block back to the tranny with new clutch disc. Bolted the nose back on the block so it is setting on all fours again.
We dry fit the new sleeves and found that #4 & 5 are a bit low. John is trying to find me some .002 and .005" sleeve shims. #5 sleeve sets -.001 #4 sets at +.001. The rest are .+003-4" Pic of checking protrusion didn't upload first time around so it is now last.
We didn't have a clutch aligning tool, but Gods eye was real good. HeHe. Engine slid on real easy with the top of tranny still off. We could turn the tranny input and pto shaft to align them. That also made it real easy to adjust the clutch linkage as we knew exactly where the pedal released the disc.
I threw in a pic of the pto clutch adjusting tool also. People are always asking how to adjust these ptos and most think they have to drop the whole 3pt assy. to remove the pto. You don't.
Did some more bodywork on the cab earlier this week also. A tire chain broke and ripped up the lower RH corner of the cab and the fender. everything hammered out pretty nicely.

I love it! I believe you are better at that than you are stacking wood! lol I have 2 engines I need to go through but right now I am side lined. Knee replacement about a week ago. Keep up the great work ! I admire your abilities.

Lee,
Hope the knee doesn't keep you down too long. Never fun wanting to get something done and having to sit around waiting for things to heal. 2015 really slowed me down.
Loren

Glad to see it coming together so well for you Loren! I'm getting excited to see it done.

Looks like things are coming together nicely. Hoping to tear into mine soon. What do you use to move all of the heavy parts around?

Eli

Thanks Loren. The guy doing rehab at the hospital said I did the best he had ever seen post surgery. It is still too slow and drives me nuts wanting to get back to doing things. I have followed your progress and am pleased you were able to get back in the saddle as quick as you did. Many people dont understand someone actually wanting to get back to work. I guess its just part of who you are. Keep up the great work , it inspires guys like me. I would love to have a 930 like that one. Lee

Looks like you made some good progress Loren. Interesting seeing the step by step rebuild, keep it up. I do have shims if you are having trouble locating some. Rod.

Rod, Do you have any .002" shims??? the thinnist John can get are .005"
Loren

Nice tractor. I picked up a 930ck recently that needs a ring gear and a little bit of love, it's a gasser though.

Loren I only would have .005 or .010. I do not think .002 were available from CASE.
