I use VHT header paint, cure it at 250 and 400 degrees F. Works great! It does kind of stink up the kitchen though.
I haven't learned how to braze yet, my meager MIG skills have gotten me by so far on my other muffler mods.

I brazed mine, I built it up pretty far so that I could shape it with my dremel. I tapered it out to the pipe exit from the muffler cover. I like how it turned out.

I've posted this saw before, but I had to make air filters for it, and clean up the points, so it is my latest completed project.

The thread has spoken...

Lol you guys! I specifically said not to open the package until I'm home, but we will see if that happens. Next weekend I will get some pictures, perhaps even start working on it. Y'all can guess though!

Well, got me some pics of the B. Someone, not sure who, took this tractor apart before I was even born to rebuild it. It's still apart cause it never got done. So I definitely have my work cut out for me.

It's a mid 1949 model year. You might notice that the wheels are spread out as far as they can go, that is because dad says it was gpa's favorite tractor and he liked to use it to mow the pasture. So he kept the wheels out for stability.

I've got a set of .090 over model 50 m+w aluminum pistons for it, gonna get 50 rods as well so I can use shell rod bearings. Gonna get some head work done as well when it goes back together. Everything else is staying just how gpa had it, wide stance and all.

It looks pretty menacing but at least all the parts are still there.

You can tell it's been sitting a while by the amount of bird crap and random other items that have accumulated on and around it.

Glad to see it was stored inside out of the weather.
