Successful day so far. Checking runout on the engine to transmission adapter plate, replacing some coolant o-rings and resealing the injection pump, among other things.

I can’t take credit for that, it was given to me a number of years back. I’ve found it very useful, can be adjusted to fit a large range of tire sizes.
Picked up a windshield for it yesterday. Install will have to wait until next spring/summer when the weather is better as I've got some rust to deal with around the frame that will take a few days/week to fix and I don't have a spot inside to work on it.
Did you buy a new seal as well? If yes what part number is the seal? Thank you

When you remove the glass, recommend you cut the gasket out from both sides. I used dry lube and the help of a friend to get mine in when I installed mine. It is a VERY tight squeeze. I used one of the windshield gasket rope tools from amazon too.
Yeah...twice. Sold the second one that I mistakenly purchased to theglobb already though.

Chassis repair. Plenty of work to remedy this corrosion.
Also made a rotisserie to spin the chassis…makes things easier.

I’m a day late. Dang it. Lol
Doing a full knuckle rebuild and this is what I scraped off of one of the knuckles. It looks like the PO may have never cleaned this off... that red dirt is from his trips to Africa from France, caked on under years of built up dirt and grease.
Yikes! (and I'm from the northeastern US so I've seen rust before)

What’s the difference? Ratios the same?

Old is not available anymore so that’s the main difference!
New has bigger valve inside and larger sector shaft.
Cheers
They look identical to me. Must be a good design

How much work is this to retrofit?
Pulled the head. Fun times. Any guesses what “solve” may have been employed on cylinder #1 resulting in that golfball pattern of dimples?
