    Just totally cool pictures Mike! I absolutely love the look of a motor being pulled in the barn by a 3 point on the back of a farm tractor. That is the way I remember it!

    Another great shot inside the bell. What the heck man, it looks like the motor was pumping tar into it!

    Thanks man! I thought it appropriate as well, ha!

    Yeah that bell is a mess! A couple of aged mouse nests plus probably some of the MMO I put in the trans that leaked out, ha! There was also a crusty old cold chisel in there! What in heck?!!

    The chisel maybe a mystery of the universe that may never be solved..... Or someone was trying to un-stick the engine?

    Can you imagine.... you get all done stuffing things back together and until the end of time, what did I do with that chisel?

    The throw out bearing is frozen solid so you may be onto something, ha!

    You can't go wrong with a free tool. I wonder how many 10 mm sockets will be in the cylinders...

    Well hopefully the sockets left in the engine will be English! There isn't much you cant do to a Go-Devil if you have a 1/2 inch socket and a 9/16.

    Question time! This little Jeep has (what looks to be from backing plates anyway) some later self adjusting brakes on it? Does anyone recognize them????

    Not 100% sure, just thinking outside the box. Could they have been swapped for 10 or 11 inch brakes? Maybe from a jeepster.
