does anybody here have any interests in old machinery, engines,tractors, tillers ect.? its cruddy weather time here so to the garage for winter projects i go. i just re-ringed a 1972 harley davidson 3 wheel golf cart, and replaced the fuel pump on a 1977 h.d. cart both run fine. i have a stable of 3. my next project is repainting a 2 stage snow blower that i got at an auction for $4.00. with a little tinkering it runs fine. but my neatest find so far are my 2 graham paige frazer rototillers, made from about 1946 to 1952, they have a cast iron 2 cycle 379 cc 5 hp. engine, 1 bought at an auction for $6.00 and the other one free! i was just wondering what other people did besides radio. cef 174

Applejack,a friend told me by adding a car battery and an old studebaker blower fan ductaped to the air inlet will double the horse power,studebaker used a small outlet for a higher velocity jet of air.Bigbob
