Wellllllll that spark was on. Appreciate all your replies. The  fuel was 
their too. But it had no compression on three cylinders.  The  lifters are 
toast, The cam is tired too. I have a better looking one from a 48 C  model Are 
they interchangeible?  I took the block in to have it boiled out.  When I 
drove out the liners I noticed one had a chunk out of it. There also was  a 
corresponding brazed rip on the oil pan. The block looks good,(no  cracks) it 
does not have any holes for a generator bracket on it at all. I  have 
another B rearend and center piece with a hole in it for a starter. I am  half 
tempted to put a ring on the flywheel an install the motor on the  other half 
a tractor. But I don't like mixin things all up (other than cams) Is  the 
magneto start system reliable I kind of see it like putting electric  start on 
a early Harley it just don't seem right.  An all the rods an mains  had the 
little brass shims. The machine shop had never seen that, he not  that old. 
The crank looks rough on journal surface. It will have to be turned  down. 
Say it is turned down 0.30 now when I order 30 under bearings why or how  do 
I even use those brass shims? I have plenty of parts to clean up an some 
time  to listen to any an all  suggestions.
