pflaming Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) A few interesting items that caught my eye on our trip . Edited August 26, 2015 by pflaming Quote
Merle Coggins Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 How'd they get that Jeep hung from the ceiling? Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 How'd they get that Jeep hung from the ceiling? Utility tape... Quote
pflaming Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 So, let's try this. I thought the juxtaposition of Chinese for and an American buggy was interesting. Quote
pflaming Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) Old farm equipment I have used years ago. How many can you identify? Rod seeders - a square bar rotated counter clock wise 4" below the surface, cut off weed rots and settled the ground for fall wheat planting, 2) grain planter, 3) tractors: AC, IH, JD, 4) ground deriven hay mower, 5) wheat binder, 6) IH or maybe a Diamond T truck. As a teenager I drove tractor and pulled each of these, dad had the AC and the IH cub. Lots of memories in North Dakota and upper Montana. Edited August 27, 2015 by pflaming 1 Quote

Ulu Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Looks like a sage brush seed planter, and a sage brush mower. Then there's a sage brush cultivator, sagebrush reaper, sagebrush windrow, and the sage brush combine. Quote
Ulu Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) My farming experience is limited to a pack of carrot seeds my grandpa gave me when I was 3. Well, that and a 1.5 hp cultivator--with which I had a small rural veggie garden, back in the Mother Earth days. Edited August 27, 2015 by Ulu Quote
Niel Hoback Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 Cam lamp inspired me to look around the room. There it is, ol' 97 lamp Quote

Niel Hoback Posted August 26, 2015 Report Posted August 26, 2015 A clock my wife's great grandparents bought in Edgerton, Ohio in 1885. Runs great. The carb, not so great. Quote
Don Coatney Posted August 27, 2015 Author Report Posted August 27, 2015 Edgerton, OH close to me. Just north of Hicksville. Quote
Ulu Posted August 27, 2015 Report Posted August 27, 2015 Hmmm..My Holly Visiflow would make a nice lamp, with the glass float bowl and all. Quote
Don Coatney Posted September 18, 2015 Author Report Posted September 18, 2015 A few more from my cache. Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted September 18, 2015 Report Posted September 18, 2015 (edited) the logistics behind the deliverly was a nightmare but I almost have this installed in my MG Midget... Edited September 18, 2015 by Plymouthy Adams Quote

Ulu Posted September 19, 2015 Report Posted September 19, 2015 the logistics behind the deliverly was a nightmare but I almost have this installed in my MG Midget... Does the flywheel seem a trifle undersized? Not for the Midget of course, But for the Kawasaki oil tanker you salvaged that from. Quote
Ulu Posted September 22, 2015 Report Posted September 22, 2015 That last one is funny because I worked in a VW shop. I remember dreaming I'd left the air deflectors off an engine I'd rebuilt, and sure enough I had. It's tricky to get them in there tight when the engine's assembled. Anyhow, they don't show up in that nightmare diagram either. Evidently the cartoon insomniac had left something else off. Quote
Merle Coggins Posted September 23, 2015 Report Posted September 23, 2015 I like the timing chain clock. 1 Quote
Ulu Posted September 30, 2015 Report Posted September 30, 2015 I love the warbird sidehack photo. Photo 4: That is certainly the cheap way to lower your car. Can you imagine the creaking and squeaking? . . . right before your car veered into a bridge abutment? Quote
