Ouch Prestone…that doesn't look good.  But judging by the other work you've done on the restoration so far, I think this is within your capabilities.  Keep it up…and keep feeding us the pictures!

Prestone most people would have junked half the stuff you have restored! Like I said I'm impressed. Keep up with the pictures I enjoy watching it come together!

The number I have on a package is G67-2100190.  IHC # 75084HA .  There were no numbers on mine either.

There would be a hose that goes from that grease zerk to the throw out bearing so you wouldn't have to pull the inspection cover to grease the throw out bearing.

Hi Prestone,
Your halftrack is coming along great! Here is a photo of the flex line inside of the bell housing. When we pulled Don's transmission it wasn't even connected hence the grease everywhere. The other end should connect to the bottom of the throwout bearing.
