<p>Well, Dean, while the tractor is sitting, let those nuts and
bolts soak with PB Blaster, Kroil or your favorite penetrant. They
will be a lot happier to come loose without breaking then. Have
fun with it and remember, as George Willer once told me, "Time is
your friend".</p>

that spot be brazed to seal it? Nothing is as straight forward
when removing 70 year old nuts. I'd be inclined to spray them
with PB Blaster or something like it for a week or so before
trying it. Wouldn't hurt to get them cherry red a few times as
well. <br>

gentlemen! 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>

moz-do-not-send="true">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>
