[AJD] Model B Rod Torque

[Bill Brueck]

Over on the stationary engine list they claim beer cans make the best
shimstock.  Or maybe it's the process that makes it so desirable.

I've never had the need for more shims, since as engines wear you take shims
out, not put more in.  I bought a whole box of shims years ago at an
auction.  If you send me a picture and dimensions maybe I have what you
need.

Bill,

According to my IT manual; the torque should be 62.5 ft-lb.  

I think shims are still available from Deere.  Sometimes you can find them
on ebay.  The fastest and probably the cheapest place is a tractor salvage
yard.

I am in the process of reassembling a John Deere 1950 model B that still has
the babbitted rods.  Does anyone know what the torque should be on the rod
bolts?  Also I am looking for a source of shims for the rods.  Any help
would be appreciated.
