A Project for George and Ol Gar

Post by 4583C »

When I saw this I thought of George and Gary, although it probably wouldn't be original enough for George! :lol:

Yep. Those front wheels are automotive wheels...not Ford 8N tractor. :lol:

(Ol Gar is here for a few days. He brought me a bucket for my tractor and an old propane tank I wanted to make a BBQ pit of. Deana was thrilled to see him get rid of some of his old junk.
She wasn't as thrilled to see I loaded his trailer up with more junk than he brought... a bucket (which was an in-trade deal)... a welded bulldozer ramp for his trailer, ... and a brush-hog that needs some repair. (Gar wants some parts off it.)

We've spent the last two days annualling Deana's straight-tail C-150. It hasn't flown or run in over 5 years and been sitting in my hangar. We got it started today. Lots of minor repairs and service as well as a few bigger ones (nose gear oleo and brake line replacements) and hope to fly it tomorrow.

An originality nut (mostly) for the right reasons. ;)

So Ol Gar will be at the convention Friday morning in the 150. :lol: :lol:
