Well I am in the disassembly mode and of course I have discovered a few unexpected things the one I am unsure of is play in the clutch side of the camshaft, I read somewhere that H tractors used either a roller or tapered style bearing on the camshaft, and I am wondering is this true? also got some play on the crankshaft bearings on the flywheel side and I am wondering is this an adjustable type insert, babbit? or what. and finally a word on painting what type of paint does most folks use, I am accustomed to using a base coat clear coat automotive finishes but I am wondering if good old acrylic enamel farm paint is satisfactory.

Thanks for all the help!!

Denny

Denny, the R/H cam bearing is a roller bearing that has no inner race & the rollers ride directly on the cam. A new bearing will usually help, but in most cases there is some cam wear also. The oil seal is critical on that side, especially if there is some cam movement. The Deere replacement seal is [or at least was] a cheap single lip seal & it will pay to find an original type wider double lip seal. [I believe C.B. Lindstrom has [or had] the better seals]. ~The crankshaft bearings are a bushing type [non adjustable]. There again, [I believe] either Lindstrom or Sharps can help you. [The bearings will have to be pressed in & then machined to fit your crank.
~You can go as mild or as wild as you want on the paint.... In most cases you get what you pay for in paint, with Deere being about the best of the cheap end. You could even go with the base/clear coat but there is twice a many opportunities to mess up with a base/clear coat. A good automotive acrylic enamel with hardener will get you a good finish that is very durable. Most, if not all of the farm enamels are synthetic enamels that fade & turn color easily. The synthetics are also not as durable as the acrylics due to being softer.
