Good find! Lots of parts there. My home is right up the road from you in Bumpus Mills. Right now I live in a tiny apartment in NY (mostly). I got a B that is pretty much complete, but may contact you about a front end, if I decide that I can't repair mine. |

Offer her scrap price and build 1-2 good ones! Or part out those babies if too far gone. Not that those are rare or overly valuable, but with a little help they can live on. ------------- WC, CA, D14, WD45 |

Tell us more of the story about how you came about them. Ill bet that is interesting. Had you been stalking them a while? The hunt is half the fun. ------------- sometimes I walk out to my shop and look around and think "Who's the idiot that owns this place?" |

| Thad, look at that "C center" again. Is it a C center, or the shallow dished B center that matches that 5 lug/spline adapter? |

That third picture reminded me of something. I see there is a petcock on the intake manifold. I remember when I was a kid when the electricity was out, we'd have to milk cows by connecting the intake manifold of our tractor to the vacuum line to run the milkers. I don't know if that was a common practice in the dairy industry at the time or not.
Otherwise, what is a petcock on the intake manifold meant for?

| From what I understand, the use you mentioned was exactly the sort of thing they had in mind when they included the petcock. |

| I have heard that too, since electricity at that point was not a sure thing...when the cows gotta be milked, and your hands would not be able to do it all... |

| I had a 60 ac combine with a petcock on the manifold. if you killed it when hot , you opened the petcock & cranked it right up . without it open you would crank your head off. the petcock was in the front of the manifold though. It looks like that manifold has a plug in that spot. |
