I am restoring a Farmall 240 and have a replacement s/n tag I obtained to replace the original rather battered original. I was very careful when I removed the old tag in removing only the original brass rivet material and didn't enlarge the holes in the cast bell housing. The rivets that came with the new tag bottom out on the cast iron where the tag goes and are longer then the original holes drilled into the bell housing decades ago. Also, the holes are slightly larger in diameter then the rivets. My question since I have never installed a replacement tag if you hit the rivet with an impact device will the rivet swell from the compression since it rests on heavy cast and fill the hole retaining the s/n plate to the tractor? If this isn't the case how are these tags secured to the tractor. Any advice or hints for a proper installation will be most appreciated, Hal.
