Over the past week the radiator came off which was not an easy task. There are two studs that come out of the bottom with a spring and nut holding onto the bolster. Those nuts were rusted solid to the long rusted studs and no amount of penetrating oil would loosen them. So out came the sawzall and I cut them off. The radiator needs some attention from a good shop (or need a new one) and hopefully they can get those rusted studs out of the radiator so I can put some new ones in. After that the side rails came off, then with the help of my boom pole and another tractor the bolster (part that includes the front wheels) came off. Then off came the manifold and carb, the governor, the thermostat housing, and the distributor. A few more things yet to come off before the head comes off.
