    How's this for a project...?

    Hey Datsunman! another friend here had mentioned old truck wheels too. Hadn't thought of removing the center of one though! I have a few places I might be able to find some of them. Now, another question. Anyone know where, if it even has one, the thermostat goes on a FC engine? I looked it...

    Hey thanks Ray! What book is that? I need to find one of them! I read this earlier, went out and snugged everything down and put the pan back on. I had to replace all my head bolts due to massive corrosion, and I didn't think about the 2 studs over the intake/exhaust holes. Sure glad you had...

    Anybody got the head bolt torque sequence for a FC scribbled on a napkin, by chance...? Just came back in from the shop, and I have the head sitting on the block. Found the torque specs, but no sequence... Anyone...Anyone...?

    How's this for a project...?

    Been away for a while, doing other things. Still don't have Turd back together. I pulled the driveshaft(If you can call it that..)out and replaced the u-joints. The bolts holding the joints together were trashed, so I thought I'd replace them too. Turns out, in my neck of the woods anyway, those...

    How's this for a project...?

    As for my project, I've pulled the engine assembly, transmission and all, out of the frame. Dropped the oil pan. Head's off. Old valves are out. Pulled the front cover to replace front main seal. Someone's been into the Turd before, as the rods are marked. I got new valves, and have been seating...

    datsunman, tell your wife I said thanks! She's my little Angel. I'm planning on teaching her how to take things apart and put them back together just like I did as a kid. My dad did the same with me. I helped him tear down and rebuild an LT1 he put in a '63 split-window 'Vette when I was 10...

    datsunman, First off, Congratulations! Fatherhood is Great!! As for you learning from my experience, I guess it depends on how you apply it. Don't be afraid to let your child help, but keep a better eye on them than I did! wouldn't trade her for the world, regardless what she packs...

    Well I thought I was making progress... Never disassemble a carburetor with a 2 yr old anywhere close. I did. It cost me $26 for a new float. Still not sure where she hid the darn thing...

    Ray I'm not sure but I think you got too much time on your hands...! Hope I have the patience to make mine look that good.

    datsunman, Took several days to get "accepted" over at Redpower. I was just getting ready to give up on 'em when I got the email. Be patient.

    Thanks Brian! I assume you found that info in the Payline? I tried to order one from amazon, but they irritated me pretty bad. Guess I'll find a copy elsewhere. Thanks again for the info! Brad

    How's this for a project...?

    Ray, I was thinking the same thing on the trans. I expect, after all the pushing and pulling I've done to it, that the tranny does have some tension on it. I've decided the same thing...Get it runnig first! As to your ?, mine does have the torque converter. I just finished removing the carb...

    How's this for a project...?

    Well, I had to get Big Red(my 1486) out and push the Turd(The HA's new name) out of the way to do a small weld job for my father-in-law. Afterward I was standing there thinking about the points problem. Decided to get on-line and see what my options were and....Here you guys are with the...

    How's this for a project...?

    Ray, Yours was one of the first I saw when I started researching. I'm hoping to get mine close to the state your is in now! I'm pretty fortunate in that I work at a auto parts store, and we're in a small farming community with lots of old "Antique" tractors still being used regularly around...

    Not sure what shape yours is in, but if you can read the panel just below the guages, thats where mine reads "MODEL HA PAYLOADER" Stamped into the aluminum of the dash panel. Reaches all the way across the dash. I'd looked at a lot of pics calling theirs H25's and H25B's, and they looked very...

    How's this for a project...?

    After several months of research, and a lot of time lurking here and on another site, I finally broke down and bought this little loader I've been driving by every day. After I got it home I learned it was a Hough HA, although I had originally thought it to be a H25. It's in pretty rough shape...
