Re: New Doodlebug Owner
Went back to see Fred this weekend and bought an engine and two rear wheels.
He said all of his engines had been in something that ran when they were removed, so I took a gamble. I picked a random motor and gave him $300. My plan for the motor is to pull the head and clean & inspect and to pull the pan and plastigage the bearing clearances and check the cam condition. I may even go ahead and put in a set of rings, but that will be next summer and plenty of time to ponder that move.
The pieces are piling up, I'm hopeful that when I really tear into this project it will not take long to have a running tractor.
