My latest blunder didn't have anything to do with fuel or switches - it's worse than that. I've been working on my 41 H for a couple of weeks now, and when I was finishing up a couple of days ago and getting ready to put the hood back on, I remembered that I wanted to turn the bracket over that holds the temp & oil gauges. The hood had two smiley face holes wore in the bulges in the hood from rubbing on the corner of the gauges & brackets. The way the bracket was made it looked like it should be turned upside down to clear the hood. I had to drain the oil out of the steering gear, and drain the anti-freeze so I could remove the temperture gauge sensor & remove the steering shaft. I'm afraid to even touch the radiator drain, so I took the drain plug out of the side of the block, while holding a 5 gal bucket to catch the anti-freeze. Not good enough...The antifreeze doesn't drain out, it squirts out about 4 feet with at least 50 lbs/sq. ft pressure. Got a good antifreeze bath. Also, the steering gear box doesn't drain, it runs down the front bolster all over the frt tires. OK got the bracket turned over, the mess cleaned up, oil & anti-freeze back in and put the hood on. Now I can only see the top 1/3 of the gauges. Some day, I gotta go through all this again, but for now, it's gonna work. ken
