Been taken away from this for a bit but have finally gotten back to working on it a bit. Got the cooling system hooked up and was able to get it running somewhat properly the other day. Quite loud in a small shop with no muffler. What a relief everything with the trans and steering seemingly functions properly. I see there must be a small leak at the water pump but not too bad. Had the roller carriages media blasted and got a coat of paint on them. Still working on the wiring......

Does anyone know if there is a port to put an oil pressure switch on the 420 engine for an hour meter, I was able to get my hour meter working again and would like to hook it up. I checked and seen the 420 hour meter functioned differently than the 40. I assume I could use the port at the oil filter somehow but was hoping for something better than t'ing that. There looks to be a port next to the dipstick that has a plug in it?

First time she's seen daylight in a couple years. Out for a test drive everything working.

Not running quite right yet though, seems like it's missing once and awhile or something ..... going to try some new points maybe...
