.020" main bearings for 88 Massey Ferguson

[Fergie88]

Hello Everyone: new to forum so hope I get things right here! I'm rebuilding the engine (Continental E223 gas) on a
1959-60 Massey Ferguson 88 tractor. Have been able to locate all required parts except the .020" over main bearings. I've tried about 15 of the most likely sources but haven't found them yet so I guess it's time to see who has what out in their garage. Engine has 3 main bearings(6 halves) and all 3 sets are slightly different. MF set# is 8309717M91. MF front bearing# 1754695M91. MF center bearing# 1754699M91. MF rear bearing #1754703M91. Federal Mogul set# FP 4139 M20. TRW set# MS 2542 P20. Continental set #E223T00102 020. Thank you advance for any assistance or leads in locating this bearing set or a business that could custom manufacture them. Regards Fergie 88

Just a follow up to my original Feb 21 post. Montes in Chicago did not have .020" under mains for our Massey 88 tractor engine. Several places could supply STD and there are a very few .010" under mains out there. Finally located .030" under mains at Egge Machine Company in Santa Fe Springs, CA. They were very helpful and professional and shipped correct ordered item in a timely fashion. Regards Fergie88
