Hello everyone... Been busy with side jobs lately, and haven't heard much from the machine shop. Called them today to check on things and they said that hopefully everything will be done by the end of the week (fingers crossed).
As I said below.. I ended up picking up a couple of used Firestone Field & Road 13.6-38's and will be putting them on the M (the tires that are on there have some holes and gashes where the tube is coming through).
Question:
When looking at the throwout bearings for this M, it lists two different sizes. Without being able to get a micrometer in the clutch housing to measure the bearing, does anyone know off hand what size I will need? I can tell just by rotating the bearing that it needs to be replaced. There seems to be some worn spots in the race. I figured I better replace it while I am in there (I assume I can do it without removing the belly pump)?
Thanks for the help as always... And as of today we are at "Episode 11" of the Farmall M YouTube mini-series (it will be live this evening).
