A few more small parts. The 4 Tach-a-Matic brackets were cut from alloy sheet. At the time I had idea's of making them working units but wasn't sure of the shape of the pivoting section. A slot was cut, to be shortened later, but in the end it was decided to make them NON working. A simple drilled hole would have done instead. Both sections were rivited together at the front. A 4BA bolt and alloy tube formed the operating lever ? for want of a better description, and secured the rear. I have since seen photos of these units in pieces, but still unsure how the lever ? works. Photo's I have looked at also appear to show other holes in various places, so again a bit of guess work was used. The mule drive, again NON working, was bent up from alloy and bolted to the underside of the chassis. The pins which would have attached it to the brackets were bolts with the heads cut down and alloy spacer tubes. Knobs for the front of the removable grill were machined from small plastic balls. Drilled and tapped 4BA first with a bolt used to hold in the lathe chuck. Still need smoothing off. All these items still need painting. Too cold in my garage for spraying. I can put up with the cold but the paint objects and refuses to play nicely.

I got this saw from Missoula Montana last year for 150 dollars, it didn't have any spark. It is a 7.0 cubic inch 114 cc saw with a 27" roller nose bar. A few weeks back I decided to restore it. The piston and bore were like new, but I replaced the points, condenser, and coil and bought complete new gasket set, the carb had been gone through before I got it so that was good, but the tank had a deep dent in the cover and I bought a new cover, put in new tygon lines and new fuel filter then painted and applied new decals. It has two coats of synthetic alkyd enamel with a poly converter hardener and a synthetic reducer, The saw was clear coated with a two part gloss epoxy. Decals were courtesy of Sugar Creek Supply, the only place to buy decals. I have to paint the muffler shield and install it, the old one was broken and miraculously I found another one intact just last week.

Hope this helps . Good luck

Not a problem to me. Nothing like the good old English chippy.

Yeah! But you keep finding something to fill the space. Sell as is, Joe.

Did the earthquake knock the cheese out of the cheese sticks? http://www.foxnews.com/food-drink/2018/02/18/mcdonalds-guest-left-devastated-over-missing-snack-ingredient.html

I wouldn't eat in McDonalds if they were giving their burgers away free

This was filmed in St. Louis Missouri, not that far from us. I know lots of ol gals just like this, but i've not been one to keep good company.

Those brackets look amazing Alan, very nice job. Can't wait to see the deck hanging from them.

12 is listed as p.t.o shaft and 17 is listed as thrust ring

Got to say Fish and chips with mushy peas every time for me. Though I prefer Burger King over McDonalds when I do have a burger which is not often I am afraid due to the queuing. I see KFC UK got supply problems at the moment as over half of their restaurants are temporarily closed....

Great work as usual Alan . Lists of jobs and the cold workshop factor are a common setback. I'm also getting itchy fingers and want to get on when it warms up.

When my wife and I met 10 years ago both our dogs were already old and we lost both of them in the last couple years, She had a Miniature Schnauzer and I had a German Rottweiler. When we saw this girl we fell in love with her and she is a fantastic companion, watchdog, and ratter.

It amazes me how owners can be so fickle with their pets such as returning a dog to the seller as it barked too much.... Absolutely crazy. Anyway, it gone to a good home now.
