Tim, what you forgot to mention on those 2 5/16 inch hex bolts is the length, they can only be 7/8 inch long, found out orignals were the 7/8 inch as if you put a 1 inch bolt in it hits the gear on the cam and will cut a slot in it as there is a bit of forward -back play in the cam shaft. 1 1/4 inch long would lock up the engine so it would not turn over. I have a 9N that was having a bit of a knock in it and garage told me it was wrist pins. I knew it was needing an overhaul As it was using oil. Pulled engine out and found the orignal sleves were cracked so new sleves BUT what was making the knock was the bolts holding the distributor on were replaced with one inch long bolts and no washer and they were hitting the ridges on that cam gear and every time the cam turned the bolts would hit that gear and it cut groves in the gear.. It was in 2004 that the tractor was torn down and just this last year engine got put back together but is not yet instaled in tractor due to my health and an ice storm that took all the power lines at farm down and did not have power to shop for a few years before I finaly got them up. By that time I lost the farm and a friend took the tractor and got the engine back together but has not yet got it installed also partialy due to health problems. I am 80 and he is 70, was hoping to get engine installed this past summer but more health problems. The 9N is a 41 model and I have a 1944 2N that Dad bought new in May of 1944 when I was 9 months old. And we do have all the manuals.
