Its just this crazy idea that i got today... I know theres probabally some obvious reason it wouldnt work that im not thinking of or something... but i dont know.
Heres the storey. When i got my C running i did so with parts robbed off the B since it needed something or other at the time.
Now that my B is painted, i want my parts back. One of those parts is a manifold.
The manifold that was on that C when i got it has a good intake portion, but the exhaust portion has reached the end of its road.
So what im thinking of is using the intake portion for the intake and making my own exhaust. My own "headers". I think it might even be good for a horse or two.
The video explains it pretty well, but here it is anyway:
The B/C head has six "holes" on the manifold side. Two are exhaust. (Im pretty sure. Correct me if not.....)
The used intake portion would take four of those holes.
Leaving two for exhaust.
I could take a section of steel pipe and (steel pipe cut and welded... i think it would be easier then bending steel tubing), and have it run a few inches from the engine, then i could cut it off at an angle, and weld the cut off portion pointing the final "stack" up. The opposite end of this creation would be welded to a small steel plate bolted to the tractor.
I dont know how id attatch it to the tractor. Theres only one bolt hole for each exhaust port. Im thinking i could weld the head outward (once i learn how to weld cast.... i never said i would make this immeditially) and then drill and tap the new metal for a second and third bolt hole.
Just a crazy idea. Im too cheap to but a new manifold, since i have alot of projects and not much work.
Im told the faster and easier you get air into and out of an engine the more power you get. This would offer less resistance then the normal manifold so mabey it would be good for a horse or two???
Any ideas??? Thanks!!

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
