Hi Hugh. I"ve been thinking about you lately- I need to zip an e-
mail off to you one of these days.
Yes, I finally got the rest of my crops off just recently, spread
manure yesterday, and have all my tillage to do yet. It"s been a
heck of a summer. Had a lot of rain all summer, so things really
did well. Hard to make dry hay, though. My big square baler did
a lot this summer, making over 7100 bales. The most I have ever
done before in one season was about 2900. Got stuck a couple
of times with the baler too because of all the rain- 4WD CIH
7140. Also nearly got stuck with the combine in wheat fields in
August. It is a bummer when it rains all fall, like you said.
On those 282 engines, IH had different classes of fit, marked
right on the deck of the block, presumably so that the correct
sleeve could be installed for the right amount of press fit. I don"t
know why they didn"t just make them "right". On one block you
could have two or three different size bores for the sleeve. Mind
you, they weren"t much different from each other- maybe .0005
or .001. Nowadays, a machine shop in the know will order .002
oe .005 over and bore the block for the correct amount of
interferrence fit.
Do you think your IH dealer would have stood behind the 560
even after 1000 hours? Wow! Also sounds like another case of
bad employee (or at least unskilled, unknowledgable) costing
you a bunch of money (the teen that didn"t shut it down in time).
Then they wonder why you can"t pay them $20/hr.
Paul
