Hi Y"all,
My Father-in-Law visited this last weekend. My M is now running so sweet... It has never run this well!!! We did not have to crack open the carb. So, my carb rebuild was good. He just did a few tweaks. More importantly, he showed me what he did and explained why. The cooling system was nice and tight, so that side plate was sealed well enough. For those following my M"s saga, I"ve got a BIG grin now.
Some time ago, I was able to get an IH WFE for my M. In the IT shop manual, it shows some kind of adapter plate between the WFE bolster and the tractor bolster. I do not have this plate. Should I be worried? or will things bolt up without it? Will it be a real pain to get someone to fab a plate for me? Would Steel Wheel Ranch have these?
Also, in the throttle linkage, there is a bell crank between the throttle handle and the governor control, right at the cylinder head. At that point is a dual-spring arrangement. I"ve got a ton of slop there. We tried replacing the springs, but couldn"t match the springs well at all. We went a bit on the stiff side, because we could not find springs that were close. Anyone have a good source for springs that would be close to factory? The little T-shaped pin that slides on the throttle rod is wollowed out pretty good, too. Just weld it up (or braize it up) and redrill? I figure I should also clean and polish the throttle shaft there.
THANK YOU for being a continuing source of information.

The whole experience can be marred if one moves too fast and makes too many assumptions that they can just use "as is" some parts they should be closely scrutinizing and possibly attended to. In such cases, rework makes what could have been a fun project turn into an irritant or even a nightmare. Minor Irritants To give you an example of an minor but irritating proble
