Utah Bison
Bronze Member
Here she is my Bison in a box was delivered this weekend.
So far im pretty happy. Seems its all here except for the governer cover.
Started putting it together and checking things over to find. One push rod
wasn't in the lifter correctly, and the valves needed some serious adjustment.
Had to grind off the exaust studs and extract the remains. Flaten the manifold and pipe
install new studs and exaust leak worries are done with. Looking down the plug holes is a nice new cross hatch finish so the cylinders were refinished for new rings that was refreshing to see. And the engine is sparkling clean inside.
Had to fix up and service the distributor and advance systems. Added some fuel to the carb bowl and cranked her over a bit and it fired right up and sounded good. Peeping through the oil fill hole the rockers were oiling nicely. Added the radiator to find a leaking water pump. o well what can ya expect? Next a rewire, Install the water pump when it gets here, Fix the tractrmeter Clean and overhaul the carb and gas tank lube it all good
then go to the hydralics
