Len - thanks for all of the info. We are NOT going vertical through the hood. We are fabricating a pipe that will bend and go through the bottom of the side curtain like the original. I have two of the kerosene manifolds that are really busted up. Complete but busted. I can now take the time to find someone who is an artist at repairing these manifolds.
My rush is to get both tractors (1925 on steel, 1927 on rubber) ready to go back to the family farm as soon as possible. My Grandmother is 95 and it would be a joy for her to see the old tractors run on her farm again. They will also be at a show in Roseville, IA over labor day.
While I might not have the original manifolds for a while, I will not modify the body in anyway that cannot be 'undone' to go back to original when the time comes. I also plan on putting steel bands with rubber over the steel cleats so I can show the old steel wheel tractor anywhere.
My uncles tell me they used to sit 1 kid on each side of the field when plowing. 1 would get it pointed at the other, jump off and go sit in the shade. When the tractor got close to the other side, the other guy would jump on and turn it around and send it back. I think they got tired of riding on those steel wheels as well.

It was on one such Saturday in the early 1940's when Sam was 16 years old that he ended up in Dennison, Kansas to watch a demonstration of a new tractor being put on by a local dealer.
