Jim, The bracket obviously was made and attached by a previous owner. It's made of plate steel, was cut with a torch and has a sort of "S" shape to it. It's fastened to the transmission housing with one bolt that holds the axle housing in place. I have no idea what it was used for, but it's painted Farmall red, is out of the way, has the ID plate riveted to it, so I just left it. I bought the tractor in 1972 and it's been a good performer. However, antifreeze has been leaking into the crankcase, so I pulled the head the other day and discovered a long crack in the top of the block that runs from one coolant port to another, then to the sleeve of cylinder No. 2, then back to a coolant port, then to another coolant port, then back to the sleeve in cylinder No. 3, then back to another coolant port and then to another. There also may be a crack in the bottom of the block because antifreeze in the opened block appears in a plastic cup below the oil drain. Thanks to the Internet, I've found a couple of possible blocks. Once I get one, I plan on doing a complete overhaul. Incidentally, the engine coolant never froze while I've owned the tractor, so I suspect the crack was a product of metal fatique or some other natural phenomenon. Thanks for your interest and help. I always thought my tractor was a little older than a '47 model because it still has a magneto. When did International switch to distributors? Tom of Minnesota

I came from the suburbs and own a small horse farm in rural Loudoun County, Virginia. You can call me a "weekend farmer." The local farmers do. Does it bother me? No. I am just happy to have their friendship. At least the word "farmer" is in my title. But what is the attraction? How can I explain the sensation and exhilaration I feel when I turn the key and hear the engine come to life (most
