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!

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
