Calling all babbit experts. I don’t have Herm Khonke anymore to help me out. I picked these up last year. I believe the one on the right is for Model T, and the one on the left is for Fordson.
My question is everything here or am I missing something? Or are there some extra parts with the smaller one?
The small one is a Model 230. The large one is Model 231.

Not seeing anything to set the cutting shaft to the cam shaft for a centre line and the gear lash, also those old tooling sets are made to only cut to a standard size, back in the day if the shaft was worn and needed grinding, you just bought a new crankshaft.

Re: Storm Vulcan main bearing tools
There are feet on the frame casting that align on the dummy cam. Very easy to set up, just remember to oil the bearing saddles regularly. Cutters are fixed, bronze feed nut locks into the frame, and crank away. Be careful not to flex the bar when cranking as it will change the bearing dimensions. We adapted a QuikWay feed box to ours and drive with a angle drill
