BTW, further icing on the cake. This same engine series is used in
lots of farm machinery

Speaking of interesting farm machinery, Harold Foskett here in town
just picked up a couple of really interesting tractors yesterday.

One was a pre-50s 60 hp Belarus - yep, post WWII Russian tractor. No
clue as to hours, but it's a lot. He's having a crank forged and
doing a complete rebuild on the engine. He's already contracted out
the sheet metal which is a little funky. Funny thing is that the
engine appears to be part British as some of the parts are stamped in
English rather than Cyrillic. The block seems ok, he's going to
sleeve the cylinders and probably oversize them to standard size
pistons.

The second one was one I found for him - an IH Farmall F-12 with a
model-T engine in it as a retrofit. Little beastie runs great - I was
a little surprised at that when he showed me. When I found it, I
tried to start it with the crank, but couldn't get it to turn over
quickly enough. I tried towing it - nada. He picked it up, one spin
and bam - running.

~~ mutter ~~

If I get a chance, I'll post pictures of his collection of IH tractors
and trucks - it's pretty amazing.

One standard for Florida Jim and his snarky remarks, and another standard

Hmmmm.



Why "Hmmmm"?

As you pointed out, I don't (to use JimH's phrase) "call out" "Loogy, or
Herring, or Salty, or any of the others who show up here
only to drop a turd or two."

I figure people can post what they want ... make a jerk of themselves if
they want .... it's up to them.

But, I *do* occasionally react to blows clearly below the belt or in really
poor taste. That's my right and it's non-negotiable.

Your boy Florida Jim makes dozens of posts here that are below the belt
or in really poor taste. You haven't noticed these because he is "his
own man and is entitled to do what he wants"?

Hmmmm.

I apologize To my good friend Eisboch and the rest of the decent folks
here. I will do my best, in the future, to avoid being an embarrassment
to him and the other people here that I like and respect. To Harry and
the rest of the sewer dwellers, K.M.A.


Another of Florida Jim's value-added contributions to rec.boats.

I've always been in favor of the ignore them and they'll go away
approach. It's mostly a call for attention of some sort - mostly
negative as it's the only attention they can garner because they have
nothing else to contribute.

There are people here I would enthusiastically join in any quest to
hell and back - others, not so much. :)

So, you are saying that Florida Jim's snarky behavior here is his
calling for attention because he has nothing to contribute?

I agree.

If you had something to contribute here, you wouldn't have to make these
Loogy-like calls for attention.

Why thank you Jim.

JimH is just once again showing what a low life scum he can be.

The "other Jim" is a flaming ass.

The funny thing is that Richard has not called out Jim of Florida for the
past posts he made here that were inflammatory, argumentative, insulting and
contained personal attacks.

Having said that, I now look forward to a level playing field here.- Hide quoted text -

And he isn't calling out your attacks on my wife and my school aged
children. Your post WAS in poor taste as a lot of yours are. I wonder
how you'd take it if your daughter had a devistating disease and you
posted a simple, well taken post asking to donate not to your
daughter's plight but to the plight of all with a like disease?
