some progress on the m-5 today, straightened the radiator grill screen(built a tool to straighten it), primed and painted. built a back plate for the hydraulic tank for the 2nd. m-5 using the shop tractors for a pattern.

(quoted from post at 21:12:27 02/28/18) How?d ya make out with stieners on the broken
manifold
sv. I made a call to the machine shop I use for all my machine work on welders and john told me to bring it in and he'd have a look at it, took it in and he said it shouldn't be any problem to fix. left it for clan machine to repair. got thinking on what it would cost to ups it back to stieners, argue over who or what broke it, IF they would warranty it then spend another $200.00 or so to ups it back up here, just a lot less hassle to get it fixed here, and a lot cheaper. john said they would heat it up slowly to red hot, weld it up with nickle rod, cool it back down in an oven over 24 hours and should be good as new. when I get it back i'll post some pics of the repair.

yes and i'm still trying to figure out how to drain the hydraulic tank and get it out to change all the hoses (rotten) and I think both hyd. valves are leaking, take them in for repair, then new circ heater hoses, new rad hoses, new temp guage, new oil pressure guage, power steering leaking and the list go's on :lol:
 
(quoted from post at 22:30:02 02/28/18) I bet if you email Them they would probably ship you one free of charge
morning sv. talked with rae at steiner, emailed the photos of the 2 boxes with the manifolds in them, she sent them to the shipping manager, her first impression was they where not packaged properly so will wait and see what the managers response is and go from there.
