Glenn, I think your missing the point of this
site. It's for antique tractors. When these were
designed by JD, IHC, MM, etc. they knew farmers
would be the main repairmen. That's why they
had shims in the bearings, adjustments for oil
pumps, etc. Parts wear but don't always need to
be factory set or better. Sometimes farmers had
to make the repairs out in the cornfield. So not
everything can be perfectly round and perfectly
straight. As Unimog said it's not really always
the right way to do it, but the repair works and
lasts at an affordable price. Sleeving or boring
an engine can be very costly and sometimes the
parts aren't even made any more. The "shade tree"
mechanic many times knows a lot more then you
think.
