Well I splurged and spent $80 on some parts.

a flexible radiator line to use for the air intake. I cant find one anywhere. I tried to bang one out of a thin steel pipe but it looked like shìt and was a PITA.
I bought an exhaust pipe with a 2 bolt flange. I modified a 2 bolt flange so I could slide it over the manifold and "fix" the broken exhaust manifold ear. I forgot to buy the damn exhaust gasket though.

I also bought a 12V ignition coil with the built in ballast resistor. it looks like the original 6V ignition coil was still on it as it will work with 12V conversion it just wont last as long.
I almost bought the electronic ignition conversion kit to ditch the points n condensor but all of that stuff looked brand new. probably swapped in with the new looking spark plugs. plus that electronic igniter was seriously $120 so I don't need it yet.
pretty sure with those new parts that I can safely finally attempt to start it. I was told that it has run within the last couple years but it lost spark and the ballast resistor was suspect. my brother in law told me he got a good zap off of the coil though so I dont know. hes one of those crazy types who will taste leaking fluids to ID and take a zap to test for spark. LOL
Oh I fabricated up a lever for the 3Pt hitch that clamps itself on to the adjustable steel rod linkage. it's only made from electrical conduit but it will be a temporary fix. I can not find one of these online. I have yet to take a drive to any tractor graveyards and the closest couple are absolutely not online, hell they dont even have a business listing for a phone number. LOL
