Schaeffers or a Schaeffer’s rep was the original Bob that started this forum. They definitely deserve more love here.

The propellor blades are moving perpendicular to the wind, just like tiny rotating sailboat sails moving perpendicular to the wind and pushing the boat faster than the wind. Years ago a local inventor made a similar model. It would travel directly into the wind and had people scratching their...

Awesome. Glad you got ‘er done, at least the taking apart part. Are the parts available or do you have to do some fabricating and welding? I have to do some steering clutch and steering brake repairs to my old Allis Chalmers HD6G tracked machine, been putting it off for too long.

Unless you are using a Group 4 oil “Syntheric” is more or less just a marketing term. I’ve been running Lubrication Engineers conventional in my tired ‘96 7.3L PSD for a couple of hears now and it ‘s cut the oil consumption to 10% of the Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel oil I used to use. The...

No opinion on his conclusions, I do really appreciate that he went to the effort of putting a GoPro in a tire and posting the video.

My ‘66 Triumph Bonneville does the same thing if parked say over the winter. Can’t say that I’ve noticed it any more or less with different oils but I never really thought about it.

Years ago a fellow in a neighboring rural community found a tiny puppy alongside the road on a blustery winter day. The little thing was miserably cold and only a few days old. He took it home, warmed it up and bottle fed it. In a short few weeks they figured out that their new puppy was a...

Springfield M1A and a bolt action 270. Haven't decided which particular one yet. I used to want a single shot Ruger Model 1 but I haven't thought much about one in a long time.

We’ve lived in coyote country for close to 40 years. Very intelligent beings and they’ve never caused a single problem and I kind of like having them around. Dog (Catahoula) hates them though and when they yap at night or come around in the daytime she goes ballistic and runs them off.

That Lucas crap may not have done any good but I don’t think it could have done any actual damage.

Interesting. Thanks for doing this.

I was also going to suggest Lubrication Engineers.

I attended a welding classat the local community college and we watched a safety documentary movie the first day. Gruesome life changing accidents due to a moment of carelessness or impatience. I’ve very conscientiously worn safety glasses or a face shield ever since.

Thanks for posting this, I watched the whole half hour. I may be tackling a Model A restoration project and if I do I’ll use lead. This video was very educational and probably saved me from an Epic Fail. I don’t have a high opinion of Eastwood products, thinking that they are overpriced and...

What oldhp said about asking the builder. Since you’re happy with Swepco I’d ask them.
