LenNH said: (quoted from post at 14:03:53 03/13/09) As far as I know, the "gas manifold" that comes through the hood was never an original option. I would bet that it is the same manifold that you could buy for an F-30. .......................
.......I hope you can use the manifold in original configuration. I hate to see a restored tractor that's been cut up the way you have to do to put on the vertical exhaust pipe.
Well put LenNH! I sure hate to see a cold manifold [or a variable governor] put on one that still had the original, especially if the hood is in good shape. If it was already there, it makes sense as a "historical feature" too, but it seems the numbers are few enough of the Kerosene and combination manifolds around compared to the cold ones I sure like to see originals. There is supposed to be some power gained by the carb/manifold combination; likewise the variable governor is nice, but if there are no originals around it's hard to appreciate the updated ones or even know there was a difference.
I believe there may have been a special purpose version [like industrial, orchard, etc] that could have used a cold manifold. Power units likely did too; else I don't think 10-20s ever had a cold manifold [exhaust through the hood, and "updraft" carburator] as supplied. The 22-36 had a manifold with selectable baffles [early 15-30 I believe were near identical to the one in Dave's picture], and maybe Dave's 10-20s had similar arrangements, but the one pictured looks like the Kerosene type without selectors to me.
