Well I finally got started working on the ole 49 D today. As I posted sometime earlier the sleeves had rusted out and I didn't want to go thru the expense of putting in new sleeves and pistons. I found a complete engine in Gillete AR and after waiting close to two years to get the motor time has come.
The day started out good, nice sunny, 70 degrees, and just a slight breeze. A good day to start this project on.

So after looking the situation over it looked like the easiest way was to pull the front end off, well what looked simple wasn't that easy. There was old hard grease and oil that must have been there from day one. Since I have had the radiator out before it was easy to pull this time.

Now that the radiator was out of the way all I had to do was unbolt the front end(sure wished I has a extra floor jack), but I got by with what I had. Boy it sure was being stubborn.
