Default engine find

I did some work for an old friend yesterday, he had a pile of old flatheads and Model A engines laying under the floor of the old saw mill, they were used in the workings of the mill.
He gave them to me .
the mill still had all the shafts in the roof to drive the machinery.
While loading some of the stuff onto my Model A ,there laying in the dirt was a timing fixture.
All in all a good day.

That's quite a load!

O/T -- Is this one of your trucks? I saved the pic off the HAMB a long time ago, had marked it as an AU member's truck.

I'm not sure I could handle it if Lawrie had both that unbelievable digger and this sweet truck. Ugh! The only thing that could crush me worse would be a barn full of '32's. Oh wait, I just saw photos of that too! I'm done now.

Ross, that is the same truck, but with the canvas top on,I put a new steel cab on this year,
The pic is on a farm out west of my home about 20 miles,they had a 35 5 w coupe on the farm from new,it got unreliable they said so the dozed it into the creek, I got the motor and box plus some other parts from it, that was also a big load on the pickup,as we had the oxy set and tools on as well.
