Technical how long should it take to get this running? update! *now with video! *

it's my model A doodle that has been sitting for a few years.
me and sprockmonster timed how long it took to get it running and working. i wanted to use the clock to show how long but the battery came loose when i set it up so it is stopped.

 

had to cut our way through the *****er bushes, fresh gas, jump box and used some 400 grit to polish the points.

 

hope you survive the brambles...

my arms and one hand has been covered in poison ivy in this two week hot/humid spell, I almost went to get a wire brush at 2 am last night...to get some relief.

...and this spring I was laid up for 6 days from a tick bite disease, could honestly not walk or drive

when do the golden years start?..........

 

Cripes! I couldn't even SEE it in the first pic! 22 minutes 33 seconds??

 

started, running and put to work in 25 minutes......
Frank, that's what they make nephews for.

 

That's the **** right there!

 

Nice work! BTW--that gas tank is off a Briggs and Stratton Model A engine. seriously

 

****, I thought you took a pic of a pile of iron ore you were going to run through a stamp mill, smelt down and hand forge your own Deuce roadster.

Did I win something??

 

I think someone is Australia did that a few years back. Bob

 

I did not even see it until the second pic, then looking back can barely see it in first pic.

 

Wow -that was quicker than some guys have time to load up their billet polish, lounge chair, crying doll and to drive their "nostalgia" ride onto their trailer for the show 1/4 mile away

 

How come the A is more visible in the second picture than in the first making me believe you took two pictures and the time including the second hand on the clock hasn't moved between the two pictures?

 

About a week after a course of corticosteroids (and possibly antibiotics if it gets infected.)

 

my respect and .............ahhh..... nothing really.

the clock stopped when i put it in place, sorry. too late to start over once the bushes were cut.

 

we have video, sprockmonster will post it.

 

Amazing! Apparently outdoor storage turns into indoor storage when the proper weeds are planted. Tech week entry winner!

 

first ride is free. after that you have to start fixing it

 

For the first time ever...

"Ran when parked"


Awesome recovery!

 

Fantastic!

 

400 grit on the points? I wish I knew that trick when I used 120 grit on mine and sanded right through them!DOH!

Ya know you inspired me to go out and cut down a pile of brier's I have in my yard to see what I had left there. When I was done all I had was dirt and a view of my neighbor's ugly house. Now I remember why I let that **** grow! Joe

 

How did you even know it was there in the first place? Good thing it wasn't painted Green or you would never have found it!

 

Squirrel inspires again!

 

hah, i kept hitting the plow frame when parking my back hoe in front of it.

 

I was looking at the clock and was trying to figure out the joke...

 

Glad you don't have poison ivy there.
