That same tractor, sitting in that same spot, now needs some attention to fix an exhaust leak. I went to use the tractor a few Saturdays ago, and right after firing it up noticed this regular tapping sound. For some time now I've been noticing the exhaust pipe won't stay securely seated in the manifold and I have to tighten it up now and then, and every time I do so I worry the top of the manifold will crack apart, so I suspected it had finally cracked. I walked around and took a little video, but didn't want to really get into it right then so I shut the tractor down and used another one (the Ford 3600) instead. <br><br>Yesterday I did a little more investigation, and found at least one spot where the exhaust manifold gasket is bad. A few video clips:<br><br><a href="https://youtu.be/gAZ9FwxrC34">https://youtu.be/gAZ9FwxrC34</a><br><a href="https://youtu.be/hHfx1c5Hu4s">https://youtu.be/hHfx1c5Hu4s</a><br><a href="https://youtu.be/v0qLG8xuPYM">https://youtu.be/v0qLG8xuPYM</a><br><br>I'm inclined to go ahead and replace the manifold, since I've been worrying about it anyway, and at minimum I have to replace the gasket. Seems like it'd be pretty straightforward, just get the air intake pipe out of the way, unbolt the old manifold, replace the gasket, and put everything back together? <br><br>Dean Vinson<br>Saint Paris, Ohio<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: AT <a href="mailto:at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com"><at-bounces@lists.antique-tractor.com></a> On Behalf Of Mike M<br>Sent: Saturday, January 30, 2021 9:13 PM<br>To: <a href="mailto:at@lists.antique-tractor.com">at@lists.antique-tractor.com</a><br>Subject: Re: [AT] One of our own<br><br>Congratulations Dean very nice picture.<br><br>Mike M<br><br><br>On 1/30/2021 8:31 PM, Milo Holroyd wrote:<br>> Congratulations!
