The weatherman was half right all good, burned some fuel and highway miles Saturday . Sunday rain so I decided to mount the fire extinguisher I had stuffed behind the seat.
I have two brains, one is lost and the other is out looking for it

This friday, I'v got to put new head gaskets in my grandfathers lawn tractor. finish the frame for my gas powered compressor if I get the time. I 'guessed' when I built it and I'v had to modify it 3 times so far to fit the engines/ pumps on and had to buy taller wheels because of pump flywheel clearence so I bought wheelbarrow wheels, and had to get bushings to make them work on the 1/2" axleYou don't know what you've got til it's gone

...plus,the inevitable truck parts,and a 32/5w coupe which is progressing too..Have had to hire a helper,as the work was piling up and I couldnt get through it all..Might have to go look at a bigger workshop space this week now..
After lunch??Dunno..gotta change a belt on the Fairmont..Would like to mow the lawns this weekend,but the weather has turned to crud again...And,yes,,I'm gunna sit on my butt for another half hour after lunch ..

For sure!! I recall Jim's torsion bar suspension on at least one of his builds, but I'm not sure which one! Maybe the Track T?? He's a talented builder.
