Hi gents. First of all let me say a great big thank you to everyone who has responded to my bearing problem especially D Slater and Teddy. The positive and the negative responses were all equally welcome as it gave me a sound overview of the situation past and present. The actual situation is this. To start with this is a spare engine destined to go into my M hopefully next year. Here are my alternatives with approx costs. In UK spare reusable M crankshafts are as readily available as "rocking horse residue" but I can buy a reworked shaft in USofA with bearings for $450.00 inclusive. Shipping is between $390 and $410 =$850. Metal rebuild and Reworking in UK $600 +Bearings $110=$710. I can have my old set remettalled and line bored =$600. Now set any one of those options against shimming at $110 just for the bearings. In the words of the prophet "No contest". The tractor is a toy and will not work hard. Never more that four furrows in heavy clay(joke) The worst that can happen is that I completely knacker the crank which is already past its sell-by Date. So unless somebody comes up with something very cunning its shimming time. It may not work for me but I firmly believe that a man who never made a mistake never made anything. Thanks again gentlemen I'll let you know in due course. MTF

A copse of wildbreaking silver birch and oak trees surround the top si
