[Farmall] More M electrical problems

Dean,

The insulators on my switch were still in good shape, but there was enough 
space to allow the contact to rotate. I used JB weld on the side of the 
contact that didn't complete the circuit and packed some between the 
contact sides and the insulators. Nothing is going to move now and the 
insulators won't fall out either. 

If you can't find plastic of the right thickness, you can try using heavy 
card stock. The only problem is that the card stock can soak up water, 
leading to another potential shorting problem. You can soak the card stock 
in varnish, polyurethane, etc in order to waterproof it. The other thing 
you can try is to coat the sides of the housing with JB weld. You can 
file/sand it down to the right thickness
