Well yes and no, but let's get into this elbow at the top of the manifold first. I see in the parts manual that it is, in fact, a threaded elbow but is listed as an "exhaust pipe reducer" and if memory serves me was flared at the pipe end. Trying to think of a comparable iron pipe equivalent I might have seen over the years. You think this would be at the plumbing supply? That would solve a lot of problems. I shouldn't have any trouble getting them apart. I have a lot of resources available to me in that regard.
Now...field ready? There have been setbacks. But, yes...I am close. Right side of tractor is complete. Left side will be when I get the manifold resolved. Mrs H will help be with the fan and belts when she gets home today and then I can put the rad back on. Rear is mostly complete, have to hook up the brakes. I have a complete wire harness for it and will put that on. I guess if the holiday were not this week I could say that I would be hitting the starter button by next weekend. I would LIKE to drop the fast hitch over to the sand blaster tomorrow but don't know. Will cost a little but I am DONE with the drill and wire wheel for a while. Painting that will be easy enough if I heat up the shop first. Realistically, I will have this done just in time to start hitting the desk hard...or not. It ran fine when I took it apart...hope that is in my favor.
Holiday, work, and basketball season is in full swing. Time is not on my side. Keeping busy over here, that's for sure!

Today's Featured Article - Oil Bath Air Filters - by Chris Pratt. Some of us grew up thinking that an air filter was a paper thing that allowed air to pass while trapping dirt particles of a particles of a certain size. What a surprise to open up your first old tractor's air filter case and find a can that appears to be filled with the scrap metal swept from around a machine shop metal lathe. To top that off, you have a cup with oil in it ("why would you want to lubricate your carburetor?"). On closer examination (and some reading in a AC D-14 service manual), I found out that this is a pretty ingenious method of cleaning the air in the tractor's intake tract.
