[Farmall] New Manifold for 1949H

[Mike Sloane]

I have heard that most of the less expensive tractor manifolds come from 
China and are frequently not a good fit or otherwise problematic - 
pinholes in the casting, cracks, mounting holes not lined up, etc. If 
you have a choice, I would recommend something that you can get locally 
and return/exchange if it isn't right. Even a good used manifold 
(obtained locally) that fits would be better than a brand new one that 
doesn't.
