Over the last year the thought of what to do about my manifold has crept in and out of my head. Right now, my distillate manifold has the selector lever broken off, and I'm pretty sure it's stuck. And one of the studs for the heat shield it broken off as well, and the others have been coated over. So, it would be some work to put that manifold back into a condition to hold a heat shield, and look like a selector lever is there.
Now, all I plan to do with it is just show folks what the selector lever looked like, and explain why the heat shield was there. (Which I still have to get)
My H isn't running great. Bob Kerr showed me what a difference just tightening up the manifold would do. But he also said the mounting hardware was wrong. This weekend I drove an H that was restored by Mark's Tractors (The guy paid a fortune to have it shipped out there from CA and back, plus the restoration... which is the best paintjob I've ever seen... but I digress...) That H was the smoothest sounding H... heck, the smoothest sounding tractor I've ever heard! He had a gas manifold on. I'm wondering if just getting a new type manifold, and than attaching some studs to hold the shield, and attaching a selector valve (that won't move) would be a better way to go performance-wise? The "Correct Police" may have a cow, but the manifold would be hidden under the shield.

Well, he decided to go get Mom out of the house and have her drive the tractor while he walked behind the plow. You got to understand that while my Mom is a hard worker who will always help whenever she can... she had never operated farm machinery before that day. Dad got her out there, explained how the clutch was the same as in our o
