Good news

Howdy folks,

Well, after the post I put up concerning the R earlier in the week it would have seemed that all was lost on it. The Lord works in mysterious ways though. I started the tear down again and after removing the exhaust pipe/water jacket combo from the tractor a thought occured to me...what if I had the gaskets that go under this assembly on backwards. Well, lo and behold I was correct. The gaskets were upside down, which would easily allow water to flow into the exhaust side and pull it up through the top of the manifold. I thank God that it was nothing more than that. Unfortunately the problem of the leaking block is still there but I"m going to have a good friend who is an excellent welder do brazing work on it to make those plates dad and I fabricated work. So, no new block is needed and I should be good as new, Lord willing, in a week or so. God bless.

p.s. Really enjoying the new job behind the parts counter. Already had stressful times and cranky customers too but I still enjoy it.
