[AT] I don't think that this is how to shim a bearing

[charlie hill]

When I was a kid in the 50's that sort of repair wasn't too uncommon.
I've even heard of pieces of a leather belt used for bearings.  The farmer
might well have been a share cropper with one tractor and no money.
He had to fix it somehow until he could do better.

My tractor was making a grinding noise so I pulled the bearings. I found
this, looks like an old oil can or something used as a shim, as if the
bearing was too small... That is the bearing parting line sticking
straight up, where the oil hole should be. You can't see the hole from
this angle, but it is right behind the shim.
