November 2020
The original exhaust was rusted off and missing. The cab filled up with heavy exhaust fumes quickly. It was now on its way for brand new exhaust.
From there It went to a mechanic shop and had a full tune up with new distributor cap, wires and spark plugs, a fresh oil change and a valve adjustment. With the new quiet exhaust, I noticed the motor had a ticking noise coming from the side. It turned out to be a bent push rod. With and new set of push rods and a valve adjustment it ran smooth. that was making the ticking noise and replaced it quickly. My grandfather was a mechanic and took real good care of her. It was blowing some blue smoke though and needs to be driven and hopefully the rings will soften up.
