Shop Time w/T.W. Friends

Oh. I had to look that up.

 

If your down in Florida stop by I’ll give ya the full tour

 

Morning all have a good day

 

Good morning friends! Hope everyone has a great day

Took a ride on the blue ridge parkway yesterday, absolutely beautiful.

 

Ooooh, “the full tour”!

That includes snipe hunting at night in the swamp… bring your potato sack!

 

Is that a’ Mario operating the mill?

 

@RustyGreen this will keep you busy for a few minutes

This 1966 Bronco was beautiful, the tag gave it away.




Didn’t see this one sitting there, I heard it



This was nice as well.





Of all the vehicles we saw, this was the coolest. It had a 4 cylinder Cummins with a turbo.

 

Coulda been

 

Good Monday Wrenchmen

First some

Then some

And off to do the down town lawns.

I had an unplanned walk the length of the property yesterday, the left wheel of the New Holland mower suddenly turned full left.

Naturally I was all the way at the end of the trail - long walk back to get a piece of wire.

 

Don’t forget anaconda and alligator wrestling, no charge for that

 

3 years later……I should probably fix that

 

A new on/off ramp?

Looks liked a terrific day for a ride

Good morning all

I hope everyone has a good week

 

I don’t know what they were grading for, there was a good amount of mountain tore up and it was steep.

 

Little nuggets all over. Notice the Shelby snake on that coupe? The rat rod has all sorts of eye catchers as well… I personally like the bottle opener.

1937 Ford

After 1935 Ford cars all came with a V8 engine, the 221 cubic inch "flathead" offering 85hp which was quite the stomper at the time, remember Chevs were all 6 cylinders until 1955.

New for 37 was the optional smaller displacement "thrifty sixty" Ford V8 60 hp engine displacing 136 cubic inches. This smaller engine didn't offer the torque of the bigger V8 and quickly gained a reputation for acceleration, it was only produced until 1940. In 41 Ford introduced a six cylinder engine for economy minded buyers.

History didn't forget the little "thrifty sixty" however, although not popular with on the road drivers it was very popular in racing used by both midget cars and boats.

 

Even I'm not that lazy...

 

I did not realize this was an Allis Chalmers until I searched the serial plate. It’s an HD15. Notice the twin oil bath air cleaners feeding air to that 2 stroke GM diesel. The blade was laying beside it. The controls were offset to the left and it looked like it may have had 2 seats at one time.

 

Just ordered both sides. $18 shipping! Damn, Sam...
