hi there
the manual says the manifold bolts should be 20 - 25 lbs.ft
be careful when tightening not to break a lug off as these manifolds are very hard to come by.
as for tyre pressures 25lbs in the front and 14lbs in the back and you should be ok.

shame to hear the manifold is in poor condition , because they get so hot the metal crystallises and cracks and they don't weld well , I wouldn't try and weld it yourself apparently its a specialist job .

If it is not Burned out to bad, then it can be taken to a welding shop that has an oven to heat it, and cast iron rod to weld it. I've repaired a few early manifolds myself by heating them and gas welding them with cast iron rod. Definetley not a job for the old red buzz box, and tractor supply 6013 welding rod. Dandy Dave!

www.rosewoodmachine.com lists half a dozen different Fordson manifolds in their online antique tractor parts catalog including some back to 1917-18. They are in Rosewood, Ohio and are a reputable company. Good luck!
