Herding cats......

Would prove a simpler task than capturing a good image of all four of my children at once!!

Primarily speaking, is to primarily repair the primary inner primary locating ring. Finally got around to making an arbor to machine my engine cases. Caroline had the typical inner primary locating ring failure which needed to be repaired. Without it, primary case leaks are prevalent. I made the arbor in such a way as to allow me to machine both the mating surface of the case and the primary locating ring. This replaces the old weak aluminum ring with a more durable steel locating ring. The cases get bored to a slip fit and the ring is secured with green Loctite. All I need to do now is clear the new ring for my stator plug and we're back in business! Of course, being the retard that I am, I neglected to take any "before" pics! If any of you should happen to find yourselves in a position to need this service, I'd be happy to assist you.

WTB,

Lockhart oil cooler for FL Shovel. Would also consider a vertical mount. Who's holdin'?

True

Shinin' through.

Can't stay,

Gotta roll, gotta go! I'm itching for a road trip, some time in the wind! No reliable engine for my trusty steed, and no time or money to build one is really stressing me out!! Enough with the crying, BACK TO WORK!!!

In the cross roads.

It's hard to go anywhere in the cross roads and not see lime stone, or as we call it, "Bedford stone" details on buildings and houses. Some very note worthy buildings in american history have been built with stone from IN, including the Pentagon and others in Washington. This is a stone carving display at the Indiana History Museum.
