Good shop, Mapco, in Sunbury. That is about 50 miles for you, probably something closer CHAZ
Dad and I have tried this with tractors quite a bit, it has never worked. You can get a crap load of torque on a tractor too, just won't break...
Now this is a definition I can wrap my brain around!!! Well played. CHAZ
Saved yourself a lot of work there, that one is damn near ready to sell! CHAZ
A little too much "boot," and not enough "bonnet" on that model. CHAZ
Thanks, I will let it rust in peace, it looks like all the cool parts are gone already too. The tractor probably doesn't start, none of them...
Not exactly a traditional hot rod, but it could be. I didn't buy it, I may stop and ask about it the next time I get up that way (it is near a...
Used one to install a 400 in my F1, I had to mount it all the way against the top of the frame rail to get clearance between the oil pan and axle....

I put a 400 out of a '77 Lincoln in mine. I my opinion they are a good choice for an old pickup. Get rid of the smog crap and put on an...

It is hard to tell, but he was riding "fire extinguisher!" CHAZ
