yea, I'm just trying to do my part to spur on the ecomomy and keep some IH mechanics employeed. ;-) But I did call the IH guy I've been working with back today and ask him to bid it two ways. The original way with the inframe OH, radiator, steering gear/bushing, clutch, and axle seals and then everything minus the engine OH. As others have said a little smoke and a little oil burning but no fouling or compression or power loss means the engine probably still has some (probably alot) good hours left in her so it can wait a while. On the clutch, with my luck it'll go out when I'm plowing 3 feet of snow with it.... so I want to get it done before it goes out. The steering is so loose I can't really take it on the road anymore above 3rd gear so that needs fixed. The radiator, well, I guess I might do that. It's easy, I'll see what they charge for it, but it needs to be done also. To keep the orginal radiator working I have an old cap that doesn't hold any pressure and leave the fluid down a few inches for expansion. If I put a new cap on the radiator it leaks and blow out everywhere.... The original radiator is rotten.... I'll of course let you guys know what I decide and thanks for all the information. It's been very helpful planning this out!!! thanks, Mark

It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro
