My old lady is a keeper too. Never gives me a hard time on money spent. Always pestering me to go for a ride in one of the vehicles. She doesn't like to get dirty, but helps out when I need a hand.

I used head bolts and then retorqued. No problem so far.

PO had the pad and carpet glued to a rusty floor and over the MC access door. What a mess. I was able to save the carpet thankfully.

Thanks for the help. It turned out be a 1952, 251. Still has good compression. I went ahead and pulled the trigger on it. I got it tucked away until I figure out what to do with it ?

I'm going to take a look at a 25" spitfire engine for sale next Saturday. Not much information besides photo. The throttle linkage makes me think it came out of a truck. Any info gleaned from the photo would be appreciated. Thinking that if it's a decent engine, I would rebuild at put into my B2B.

Is this what you're talking about? https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F152747585662

I've been driving my 1947 D24 a little more now. Try ing to sort out the squeeks and rattles after the rebuild. I keep grinding it from 1st into second. I figured it needed a linkage adjustment, but I have found if I double clutch it doesn't grind. Is this normal? I know it's necessary when down shifting. Very curious. I don't have this problem in my 1950 B2B. Any thoughts?

Mike's Carburetor sells them. He also has a nice tutorial on how to rebuild them on YouTube

Here is an updated card ?

You might research Quick N Easy roof racks

Ralph I would humbly suggest that you buy a new battery first. I have had the experience of my starter not disengaging when I had a weak battery. A new battery might solve the problem... You need a new one anyway ?

The previous owner had carpet put in with a foam mat. Spray glued the whole thing in right over the MC access cover and rust holes. Took me several days to scrap all that sh*t off. I was able to salvage the carpet.

Here is an interesting article on the Case 150. The largest steam tractor ever built. https://www.farmforum.net/farm_forum/hours-m-go-into-recreating-case-that-was-billed-as/article_07f84834-1a46-5c79-9740-25349715a6a2.html

You are correct. Kerosene was a cheaper alternative to gasoline. Not my video. Just found it on the tube.

I just need to figure out an excuse to my wife to buy one of these Rumelys..and win the lottery ?

Did a 2.5 hour tour of the tractor meuseum at the JUMP building in Boise. It was fantastic. http://jumpboise.org/vintage-tractors-and-steam-engines. I am blown away by the engineering that went into these tractors and steam engines and they're over a century old. Really neat place.

Both carbs were built by George Asche and mounted to his aluminum intake. I put them on out of the box. I've been trying to adjust the speed and mixture screws with one carb and then trying to match with the other. I will have to search for vacuum leaks. If all else fails, I guess I will check float bowl hights and jets. I'm running a mechanical fuel pump. Just thought that maybe someone has an adjustment procedure that I'm not doing.

I've been working on adjusting the idle. It's just not quite where I want it. It's still a little rough. I am wondering if anyone has come up with a good procedure to adjust duel carbs. I am using the tool in the picture below to sync the two carbs. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

12th ANNUAL CLEMENTS TAILGATE BBQ, Clements California
tom'sB2B replied to 48Dodger's topic in Mopar Flathead Truck Forum
Another great bbq as always. Tim and Steph a gracious hosts. Amazing sunsets and rises and view of the Sierras. Loved waking up to the sound of grazing cows. Here is a photo of apple orchards not far from the ranch. See you next year.

I'm sorry. I was incorrect. As Don and Ed say; it's the difference in the flanges.
