9 viewsThreads restored. Rental cost was $15 for 3 hours. Couldn't buy a good used manifold for that.Stanton

9 viewsRented a 2" tap to redress the manifold threads. The existing exhaust pipe had stripped threads and just sat down in the manifold. All those years of wobbling around in there rounded off the manifold threads and/or filled them with black soot. First, I tried using a 2" pipe nipple, but it wouldn't grab and center itself to cut; just kept popping out even with pressure and tapping with a mallet. So, I called the rental shop and rented a 2" pipe tap. Was tough to turn at the end. But do-able.Stanton

20 viewsWent to an auction a couple years ago and bought 3 or 4 Farmall steering wheels; two were Cub size, two were bigger. Almost threw the larger ones away on several occasions, but now I'm glad I didn't. The steering wheel that came on my H had a bad spot, so will use the spare to repair it.Stanton
