Just went through your thread. Man, I like what your doing.
Enjoy the process, it looks like a fun trip.
Please keep the pics coming.
Also, I noticed the Kawasaki, is that a 175, about a 1972?

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 mowers, rink ice edger, etc lol. Maybe that's why I never work on my stuff.

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 build up high like the corners. They come in LP, gas and electric. There's probably some videos on youtube if you're interest, the two brands I can think of off hand are zamboni and thomson. Thomsons are better in my opinion.
Pretty much anything you can think of comes though my place at one time or another.

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.
