landman Posted November 30, 2017 Author Share Posted November 30, 2017 (edited) It was pointed out to me that the pallets looked somewhat out of scale. So I measured them and, sure enough. While the 40" x 48" dimensions were correct they would be 13 inches high when they should be 6". So I corrected that.

landman Posted December 5, 2017 Author Share Posted December 5, 2017 (edited) Looks like the next machine, or rather a tool in this case, will be a crankshaft straightener. went to the engine shop, pestered Leo into letting me measure and photograph it.

We'll go limber up first. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian I have been within a few hours of his house in the summer to fish. You better get a good snowmobile if you go in the winter. Around 16 hours north of the Michigan and Ohio line driving in the summer around the orange barrels. LOL All joking aside it is always a good time looking at what Pat has added.
