LOL awesome Eric! The long grass looked the like a field of green snow. You must trust the rock picking of either you or the people before you!
Nonetheless it looked like a riot lol

Oly Man, decades ago as a teen I used to hay that ditch and more as many of the trees you see were not there, thus no rocks.
Yes Bones it does turn well, I have the front set of bogies in a set of holes about 1/2" above the running boards, and am using Oly two spring bogie sets in all of it.

That's a Kissenberth mill... Yeti when you sold me that rusty '67 Oly in 2011, you threw in an Elan mill ('71-'72, internal pulse) with no carb, clutch, muffler and no spark with the usual acorn packed fan housing.  I put a used stator with Bosch parts on it, had enough used bits and parts (one ring was broken and I used a ring off ANOTHER bottom end you threw in on a deal at one time) used an HR73A I had from ANOTHER bunch of parts... So I think I have $23 in gaskets etc in the engine, a $5 muffler from a swap meet that's been brazed at the usual crack- see lots of y'all like to swap bigger mills like 335's on to Elans, and that is cool and all, but a stock 12'er is great as they are sooooo easy to rope over even without a de compressor, will run all day in wet sticky snow or on hard packed ice and never get too hot, creep along between the trees at barely above clutch engagement. Reminds me a lot of my '70 12/3 that was my first machine. I put this machine together out of mainly parts I had gotten over the years, to be like a "tirals bike" in the back woods at the family property, and it does exactly what I want it to. Not a machine I would take on a trail ride (though it is perfectly reliable) as it is slow to keep up with the pace and not all that comfortable to ride seated long. |
