Old iron show
There were a bunch of nice Cubs. There was a mini Massey that was the coolest thing ever, garden sized with a 4cyl diesel. And is there anything Crosley DIDN'T make? LOL I should have taken a pic of the main tractor area, like a packed parking lot only tractors.- krawlr

Old iron show
Indiana, just after Ft Atterbury. The one to go to is Portland Indiana, it takes over the whole town. Aug 26-30, Jay County Fairgrounds. Supposed to be one of the biggest around. There is an events calendar at smokstak.com near the bottom of the forums, always something going on. ;Sweet- krawlr

Old iron show
Finally made it to my first old iron show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA0D2NK7vH4 And I just found a guy about 2mi from the farm with a 20-25hp for sale in his front yard along with a bunch of 3-10hp engines. My heirs are so screwed. LOL- krawlr

Got Lister?
Bilge pump is for the muffler. The muffler is half a water heater tank buried under ground. It gets full of water when the ground is wet. So darn flat out there nothing drains.- krawlr

Got Lister?
The P/O had already cleaned it out, painted the case inside, polished the crank, and replaced the bearings. I have squared up the rocker faces, resurfaced the pump lifters, and lots of other tid bits. You're supposed to pull the cover and get everything oiled up before you start it for the...- krawlr

Tire shaving? Homemade?
I just guessed and put 6 in but a couple still wouldn't smooth out so I dropped a couple more in. If you have more than needed the extras go to opposite sides of the tire perpendicular to the imbalance so they cancel eachother out. I guess too many would be enough to keep them from freely...- krawlr

Tire shaving? Homemade?
I haven't seen any wear from the golf balls in the tire. Actually the balls get worn smooth. The sound of all the balls falling to the bottom when you come to a stop blends right in with the sound of swampers on the street. LOL No I wouldn't do this to my radial M/S street tires but the bias ply...- krawlr

Tire shaving? Homemade?
I toss 6-8 golf balls in my 36" Swamper bias ply on beadlocks. It keeps them surprisingly tame. I think if you try to true up and balance those things they'll be all out of wack in a week. Walmart has used golf balls by the bag too. :D- krawlr

used engine oil for fuel
In2 and Oldbull :eek: I've actually quit putting WMO in my truck. It all goes to my stationary diesel generator tank now. That thing would probably run on peanut butter if you could get it through the supply lines. LOL- krawlr

used engine oil for fuel
I used a cartrige type filter with a 1micron element from McMaster Carr. Some pvc fittings from HD, a shutoff valve on the outlet, and the biggest funnel I could find epoxied to the inlet elbow. Comes out at a small stream at best so if you want to do more than your average oil change you may...- krawlr
