Greetings gentlemen of the red. Some of you may recall that last Autumn I was trying to lay to rest a problem obtaining040" main bearing shells for my M spare engine. (Never found them yet) I was considering shimming 030" and asked your advice. So! to cut a long story short we gave this a try:-experiment using an old set of bearings. The no1 and no3 went well and we achieved a measurably satisfactory fit. However as expected we had serious trouble with the middle bearing obviously caused by the thrust flanges. It was not posible to press these in to obtain a sound fit. Either the flange bent outward or the babbit surface buckled. After one flew out of its seating into the roof I decided--FINISH. In conclusion I would not hesitate to use this method in an engine with all 'straight' bearings (or for the same problem on conrod bearings). Now once again thanks for all your help and advice and to all the guys who told me so--Yes you did. Now another problem I need a radiator shutter for an M either a good one or one to use as a pattern and I would be very much obliged if anyone out there can help. Here in UK they are rarer than honest polticians. Please continue to enjoy your problems. MTF

Paint is another, the modern acrylic enamels are great for resistance to grease and fuel stains, retaining their shine and they last forever; unlike enamels and lacquers . Still another is the alternator. No doubt using the original generator keeps the tractor pure, but for thos
