10-10-10 continued...
Took some pics of the motor before I started to wire brush it. Started at the top of the head and worked my way down. When I got to the oil pressure switch, my wire brushed blew the nut off of it so I have to remember to get a new one. After using the brush, I recorded the numbers that were more visible. My engine date was March 12, 1951. My transmission is 8-5-51 (even though the 8 looks like a 3 in the pic). There is also a number in a rectangular box to the left of the date on the engine. I asked about it before and the response was that there was not supposed to be a number there. I see it is 016.
After wire brushing until the bristles were gone, I put Phosphoric acid on it and some more on the frame. Got a little deflated when I had my wife and kid come out to see the results of the hard work I was doing. I was given "It looks the same to me" response, even after showing the before pics
. Oh well, I know I made a difference!
