Patience, heat, WD40 (or penetrating oil of your choice). Brass drift and a ballpien hammer.
Chipped all the scale out of it with a small cold chisel. shot it every day for a week with WD-40 after heating it. At the end of the week, I started to tap the flapper with the drift and hammer. very moderate taps all along the flapper where it was against the manifold body.

It is now free, and no damage to the manifold. I only need to hot-tank it now to clean out the inside, and install it.

I also had to drill out a couple of the studs, and retap them. Not a crisis, and I ended up with a darn nice manifold to install my heat shield on..... .

looking forward to running a tank of kero through it just for giggles.

I have a distillate Super H and a better manifold proved impossible to locate. The flapper, or what was left of it, was welded in place. I drilled, chipped and scraped it out. My plan was to put a dummy shaft in it just for looks but then I found a NOS flapper on this forum. I would venture to guess that I have one of the only functional distillate SH manifolds around. BTW, the cold or gasoline position is all the way down.

Janicholson said: The only reason to fix or remove would be no intention to run tractor fuel in it. If it is in cool position, and it is not a trailer queen, leave it. if it is in hot position, and it is a trailer queen fix it.

if it is a user, removal hurts nothing, but the manifold might be valuable with it to someone restoring a trailer queen. JimN


The outside arm has broken off of mine. I have no idea what position it's in. I was thinking about replacing the whole manifold because of it, but haven't been able to find one in working order. I was thinking about just welding an arm on there just for show, but if it's in the wrong position...

so I don't know what to do with it.

Yes, I did for my 40 H. Patience, heat, and oil. It is possible, but time consuming. Careful those manifolds are known to be brittle.

I have only messed with one flapper on one distillate manifold. The flapper was rusted solid and so badly coroded that I just busted it into little pieces with a hammer and punch.

Not sure how the distillate H manifold is, but on my old 10-20 I freed up the 2 baffles to run either kero or gas with a torch, small hammer and small light taps with it and a lot of gentle patience. I can say not many people have 10-20s with free baffle plates! I got the winter / summer manifold setting free on my 1924 Oldsmobile the same way. Just take your time with it!

Don't mean to hijack your thread but I'm wondering the same thing. Also, if I don't plan to run distillate again (tractor hasn't since '73 at least) would it hurt or even help to remove it and plug the holes?

Thanks in advance,
Bill

Patience and more patience. favorite penetrant.
Electrolysis!! heating till the little shaft is red, but the casting is not. Then cooling to cold and application of more spray, then more
light tapping, and patience.
