A very busy, but productive weekend. Was able to start one of my regular cat tens for the first time. It hadn't run in several years so I thought it would be a challange. The engine was never stuck, however there was frost damage to the head. Pulled the head last week, cleaned up everything and reinstalled with a good head. My brother timed the mag, and I hooked up a carb. IT was 95 degrees so I had my girlfriend pull start the ten with my truck. Fired up in no time and it sounded great! Drove around with no problems. Powerful little motor as I was in third gear with no hesitation. I am now going to take this motor of this machine and but it on another chasis as the undercarraige is in poor shape.

Still talking cralwers, however a different color. Been working on the MC crawler to get it ready for the KInzers show in two weeks. At the home stretch with final assembly and paint. Some pics for your enjoyment.

Good to hear another Ten that still runs..JD pic looks great..I'll look for crawler at Kinzers..Possibly meet you too.Taking any other machines to show?

With my work schedule, the cost of fuel, and lack of time, I think I am only going to take one machine this year. The trailer I have, and the weight of the machines I have, I can only take one at a time. I'll be there for sure Thursday night for the tractor pull with several of my friends.
