It's been a while. Photo bucket now has pay to 3rd party link, so none of my pics work for now. I've been kinda moving around but with no direction until recently. I've decided to to straight axle gasser. Working on sourcing an econoline axle. Stay tuned.

where my shop is, in another unit, I knew someone that had a 7k rotary lift installed in 3.5" slab that regularly put mason dump diesels on it. To boot, I saw him yank and rock on those things pretty hard (while the damn truck shook on the lift) I had no control over it, but I was always...

got the trans cleaned up, shifter taken apart, cleaned, installed new reverse detent (goes in reverse easily now). New gasket, ready for oil.

I've been able to get a few things painted.

a machine, a little smaller than a push lawn mower that operates much the same way, solid bar with carbide tips that rotates. It's purpose is the get the very edges of an ice rink where the ice resurfacer (zamboni or olympia usually) doesn't get quite up to the boards, or where ice tends to...

The dirt bike? I want to say it was a 175 about 1974, but I don't remember. That was a friends, I was rebuilding the carb and setting it up for him. Actually looking back there's alot of stuff in the pictures that came in for fixing that isn't mine. The forklift, the dirt bike, there's a few...

no, the project isn't dead. Been working on the chassis. Still ordering misc BS as I find that I either lost it, or forgot to order it. Hoping for a roller by spring. Rebuild motor and trans over summer. Start on body in winter.

probably, but depends how you want to set up/ how you want to use it. Personally, I find 2' to be perfect for me.

so no update, still collecting parts... when I can. Project is not dead, will never be, but will always move as slow as 2 degree molasses. I still haven't even moved my tools to my garage at my new house. Garage is just piled full of stuff for temporary storage. I do have my spare chassis at...

It is def a no 4. Not the huge thing on the side, but cast in it in small letters. Those who said it might be early are probably right. I will pull the jaw and look for castings when i have a chance. It does function smoothly, I was impressed with it actually. Haven't bolted it down and...
