That's very gracious sir.

The large Venturi is about 1-1/16 on the inside. The small Venturi below has a 7/8 hex and should readily unscrew. The large Venturi might be a real bugger to remove without destroying it. I believe they were simply pushed in the carb's bore then secured with the two screws. They've grown since then. I bored the large Venturi out to get an almost 1-1/8 OD socket down to the small Venturi to remove it. Testing coming this year on my bored-out Howe carb. I'd like to see more M-3 content from you as time goes by. May I ask what will happen to the throttle lever in the bottom part of the box?

He was correct, we like keeping up with your work sir. Old machinery is just old, not out. This thank you is from a tractor mechanic that looks in every day to see.

"I'm relieved to see vice grips being used. " And Peterson built Grips at that! The old 10R is my favorite. "....most people just stare blankly if I try to explain it!" The eyes glaze over and then the deer in the headlights look sometimes. Doesn't take much does it? I get that in my world also. I'm blessed to have come across your thread. Your sometimes "out of the box" thinking is inspiring to me and many others.

It happens in one's own yard too. 😘 In one of its many incarnations, our 1929 International-come shortened snowplow farm doodlebug truck as I bought it when 13 yrs old was ready for another test drive as a flat bed open speedster when son headed down the hill, himself about 13 then. Of course, Maw was driving up the hill in the '91 Baretta at the same time. Smack! Bent the front frame horn. Of course, we didn't have any more than one-wheel brakes on the IH yet. An old friend wonders what his truck made of "kindling" (wood cab & box Ford TT) will do if he ever gets hit when out for a slow cruise.
