Default Quite the score

Hi Jordan

That is quite the score of CMP parts at the steam show, I am always amazed at the stuff that shows up at odd flea markets. You would think after 70+ years that it would all have been found, used, or scrapped by now. Glad that somebody thought enough of it to take it to a show to move it along to somebody else, thats recycling.

Glad you found the engine stand idea of use. Agree with the use of hard steel wheels. I have a 337 Flathead Lincoln engine on one of mine right now engine and transmission weight is something north of 900lbs. Rolling it around on the smooth shop floor still takes some effort. Particularly if you roll it through the kitty litter / aka speed dry turns it to dust.

Cheers Phil
