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
