I definitely think the stud will be easier to keep from breaking in the hole, but it could be difficult to find suitable studs.

My biggest fear is that when i die my wife will sell my tractors for what i told her they cost

I'm happy to report manifold fit nicely. I did use the bolts that were present. Rain and getting dark prevented a run, but tomorrow's another day.
Thank you both. :beer:

just finished skidding some firewood. You can see Hyacinth needs a lot, but she's my favorite!

Looking really good there, a good clean and she'll be good as new again. I see you have some of the ato clutch release stuff on there.

There were more parts for the auto clutch release. I removed some, not sure why.

If you have the top link you could use the ato clutch release when ploughing, the top link is very rare and expensive nowadays.
