Got my F30 loose. Need an exhaust and possibly intake manifold. Depending on how the separation of the two goes. Any body have a good used exhaust manifold and or any reports on quality of rosewood reproduction parts ? Also clutch is stuck. Cannot seem to get the spyder bolts out of the clutch to transmission coupler. Whats the secret? Are the bolts a press fit, threaded or just plain stuck?
 
Dwane Helman that started Rosewood machine is a Personle friend of mine and his kids are running the place now. Rosewood is the name of the town the machine shop is in and Dwane is a big Fordson man with hundreds of the old Fordsons.
 
I just saw the name, you asked me to email you on the hay rake and I sent you my email twice, did you finally get it?
 
those bolts are a taper fit into the coupler, I have gotten mine loose with wrenches or a 3/4" ratchet and socket if it is accessible, take nuts loose and tap on bolts to try to knock them back, just be careful not to mushroom the threaded end. Or putting the wrench on the bolt heads and smacking the wrench with the hammer will sometimes pop them loose. Heat and penetrating oil never hurts , patience so you don't destroy things. Usually a combination of all of the above will get them out.
 
If they are the same as my F12 and F20, just reassemble all the nuts loosely to keep it all together and then jam up the drive shaft with a bar against the frame. As somebody said, the bolts are a tight fit (not threaded) in the cast couplers. I think I used a good wrench or 2 and popped them loose.

I do not think Rosewood offers an intake/exhaust manifold for the F30.

Steiner has new ones.
