Evening Oregon

Having lots of fun trying to figure what header gaskets to get, looking like I will just have to tear it apart. On a side note looks like the 89 has a gt40 head on the right and I'm undecided what is on the left.

I ended up getting felpros that napa sells. That was after the dead soft aluminum percys wouldn't seal. I must have grabbed the wrong percy's.

Good morning Oregon FTE gang and friends.

No rain at the moment... I've given up on paying attention to the forecast.

We had one similar to it in the barn at the Minnesota place until a few years ago. One end doubled as a saw for the firewood when we put on the blade.

It should be bulletproof for you, Don, and the two-speed motor, mounted low, is a superb idea!

Morning Marv. I wanted the two speed motor so I could also use it for polishing. The old motor was mounted behind the shaft, and the farmer I bought it from said he was tired of it falling over! The new base will be bolted to the floor so that won't happen in my shop...
