That is very impressive work there Bruce, well done, I need to find 3 sets of manifolds here for my old wrecks and am wondering how you repaired the inlet manifold too?
Thanks
Mike
Thanks Mike. The intake had started to break the outer jacket off. It sort of exploded from the inside out. I took a grinder with a cutoff wheel and cut where the outer jacket was still held on and opened up some “windows” to clean out the rust and carbon that was in there. It was a tremendous mess inside. Once I finally got it all cleaned out, I brazed the windows back in.
Your pictures look like your manifolds are a little further gone than this set.

I like the way you went about it that's some great work. thanks for sharing as it helps with ideas on how others were able to fix things.
Well here is the finished product. Good enough for a toy tractor I’d say.

Impressive.

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
