FORUM RULES: Users agree to these Rules when using Forum.

The site administrator reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of the user agreement without prior notice to the user. It is the responsibility of the user to regularly review the terms of this agreement.

The user agrees to the following terms:

All information that you provide to us for your membership is correct.
You will not use your membership to spam, harrass, or exploit other members in any way.
Vulgar, Abusive, Racist and Sexist Language will not be tolerated.
Commercial-type sales postings will not be allowed.
No mass posting or flooding of the boards is allowed.
No Advertising of parts or cars; no Ebay or business/commercial ads (please use the "Classified" for ads Wanted or For Sale).
VIEWING MULTIPLE TOPICS ON SCREEN: You can choose to see more than 10 Topics at a time ... Log In and choose "Preferences" from the top bar on the Forum page. Scroll down and Change the "Default Topics Returned" parameter to 25 or 50, and save the changes. Since this setting is stored in your browser 'cookies' (if enabled), it seems to use that stored value even if you are not logged in. So, if you use a PC that you haven't logged into the forum from, the setting still seem to remain at the default.
EXTERNAL PHOTO LINKS ON FORUM: You can still use external photo links in your posts on the new forum. They follow the rules of any link in that they have to have the URL link qualified down to the full image file name (example: .jpg). The links will open in a new browser window, the same as an uploaded image attached to a post. Since an image attachment to any post does not display inline with the post, the results are the same. You can use multiple external links within a post. This link is from photos on a site from Don Clink's 'Deuce@75' albums:

http://donclink.com/deuce_75_1/images/dscn2950.jpg

Using links from photo sites such as Photobucket can help in "size" issue with uploaded attachment files. For best viewing in web browsers, photos should be around the 800x600 pixel range, and probably not more than 1024x768. Most cameras today store HUGE jpg image files, as the default settings are in the 7, 8, 10, and 12Mb image sizes. The image files that are then attached are very large, and the browser can't display the full image size without using the scroll bars. Use the re-sizing functions of your photo editing software to reduce the image to 800x600, which reduces the file sixe and the image load time in the browser. Don uses Google's free Picassa3 software, which is an excellent photo management product. All of the photo albums of the Deuce, Grand National, and Auburn that are links on the NORG site were built using Picassa's web creation functions. And it's free? (THANKS to Don Clink for the info!)

I am thinking that I just might drill the hood arm to fit the hood arm shoulder bolt , I think that is the best thing for me to do

Now that tractor is COOL! You seem to have a sickness that I share.

I'd restored a 1957 Massey Harris Pacer a few years ago. It had been in my wife's family since new. Less than 5000 of them were built over a five year span. I did one of my car restorations on it. Flawless and one that can no longer be used

Even the original tires were on it - Massey Harris molded right in 'em. They were not cut or otherwise damaged. I sand blasted them. Yes, sand blasted them. That took all of the oxidation away and makes them appear as new.

I feel for ya having this sickness.

I'll go look for the bolts now and let ya know what I find (or not).

Yes, we plan on driving it to local shows, I bought this truck in central California four years ago, it was pretty clean from the beginning, no rust so I got a real cream puff to start with. I have been doing tractors for the past fifteen years, Porsche and Lamborghini.

The bolts I have show hood arm bolt set and they are not correct, they will not fit into the hood support arms so I guess I need the hood arm shoulder bolt? Do you have a spare set you would part with?

Skyoung, My previous post in regard to the bolts was incorrect (obviously) and I have since deleted it. I was thinking the small "L" brackets at the front fender. I don't know why I was thinking that but I was.

Anyway, I can look for a pair of the shoulder bolts if you like. Let me know.

Your truck looks nice. It appears as if you pan on driving it - yes?
