Guys, 147 update!
Almost afraid to post with out pictures, but would you believe me that I have been working on the 147!

I promise to post some shots of the progress.
I have been working to about 10:00 each night on it and am too pooped to post when I get in.
Some of the moves:
Pulled PTO ( may nee new outer casting as PO ruined one hole)
Pulled starter drive pulley ( needed slight amount of heat and new pullers)
Pulled flywheel (required new flat puller)
Welded guard over Elec lift
Pulled steering wheel.
Here is a partial list of the parts removed cleaned primed painted and set aside.
gas tank
pivot bracket to engage PTO in lower grill casting
gas tank bands
throttle linkage
air cleaner support
air cleaner cover
starter brace of engine
valve cover
tin covering flywheel
support plate for muffler (welded crack)
rods and turnbuckle for PTO engagement
small tins for carb side and opp-side
screen for flywheel
governor linkage
coil mount
bracket for regulator and hood support
cover for shifter hole
pulley for starter gen on engine
flywheel
Cleaned and rebuilt carb
Cleaned and degrease elec lift, ( still needs work)
cleaned fuel sediment bowl and valve.
continue to clean and degrease engine as parts come off.
Hood has been stripped inside and out and straightened, primer and filled, sanded and primed, more work required.
Pulled off the fenders and foot pads, ( Used the welding on a nut to the top of the round headed bolts, which worked great). Started to strip the fenders but may have them blasted?
Yikes!
I will have some pictures! Really I will! Remember its going to be IH red and white so don't be shocked!
Regards,
Chris
