For appearance reasons I did not re-install the engine block tank heater. See first and second photos under topic "Before After"
Any one got an idea on something that may work for me.

Just to good not to share. - 6 F

1954 with a 61 replacement engine. According to my dad who bought it new it was the second one imported into US.

I was hoping no one would notice the lugs. Just put wheels on temp to get out of shed. Still need to put new rubber on. :mrgreen: Don't have a lot for it to do here. But well use it where I can. I say I don't care how good looking you are you still have to work. Wife thinks I talking about her. My c...

Nick; Getting ready to order paint for my project. Could you share on how much paint you have gone though?
Thanks Glenn

As you describe all the symptoms. My first thought was the clutch may not be engaging. Good luck.

Pat; The welder is a Forney did not see Ford on it. Picked it up on a farm sale few years back, paid 65 for it. I was thinking brake lines also. Adrian; No special plans, well take it to some tractor gatherings. May do some pulling. And what ever I can fine for it to do around the place. Any one eve...

Thanks for the thoughts. It helps me decide to fabricate a new line.

Of course if any one would really like to help I'll be in the shop.

Does the fuel return really need to be connected this one been this way for many years.

No it does not.

It is adjusted to push the lever back to neutral as the three point goes down. We used it manley with a tool bar cultivator when we didn't want the weight of the bar on the gangs. It also came in handy with the side mounted corn picker. Last time I used it was 1967.

The mystery is over.

If you have a line set up for aux hydro output just take fitting from end of hose and pump it out.

Think about it for a while I well post photo of the usage in a couple of days.

Dad showed me how to make gaskets this way 50 years ago.

We had one growing up. It was used to power the bucket dump on the loader (super Six). The main Aux powered the lift. That is a interesting seat mount. Glenn

Sorry guys I'm still on this paint thing. Found this site today, anyone have any experience with this paint?

Yes it did Dave. The history is in 61 dad bought a second major with it came a super six loader. When he left the farm in 68 the 61 was sold and loader moved to the 54 and he built the front hydraulics for it. It was used in town for snow removal for many years. When I got it last year the loader wa...

Don't know it this is how it is done. But here goes.
