Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Just what I needed...another setback....when I went to pickup the engine, the guy was hauling it about 10ft in the air on a 90k forklift....when I saw how he had it hooked i was shocked...all he had was a seatbelt tied to the exhaust manifolds...i mentioned he had a lot of faith in a seatbelt...he said thats all we use and i aint never lost one yet...well ok....
So i get it home and what the heck..he used the seatbelt I guess I can to..
(You can start filling in the blank here)...
Moving it with my tractor I make it all the way into the shop with it when.....you guessed it...the seatbelt broke...so here goes my motor....it only fell about a foot but that's all it took..
Broke the a.c. tensioner off and busted the oil pan...amazing how far 6qts of oil will spread before you can get the oil dry...luckily i found a new pan ...but im gonna hold off buying one till i make sure it will clear everything...
(wound up having to use C6 vett oil pan)
