[AJD] Model B Rod Torque

[Louis Spiegelberg]

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.

Subject: [AJD] Model B Rod Torque


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.
