I use the torch on radiators.
How much clearance are the fan blades to the radiator? The pressure resistance looks a bit much as it's very close in the camera shots here.
3/4 inch
Both the throttle and spark advance rods are made up and installed.
Today I put on the fuel filter bowl with a shutoff valve and made up the fuel line going down to the carburetor.
I decided that since the fuel filter is right over the engine, I didn't want to use a filter with a glass bowl so I found one with a brass bowl.
I have the spark plugs out and cranking it over to get #1 on TDC so I can set the distributor.
# 2 and 4 have good compression but #1 and 3 have no compression so obviously, a couple of valves must be stuck open.
Time to pull the head.
I probably should have done this when I first got the tractor but the engine turned over so easily that I was thinking ( or hoping ) everything was okay inside.
