If I can figure out/care/have the time I will record the Firebird running. The "welded" thrush has no packing to burn out, should last a long time we will see!! Above link gives great pics of the muffler in question.

Here's the style I ran.

Mornin all.
Mowed at the hunting property included some area left fallow for many years.
Hanging on dearly bouncing around on rough ground multiple times reminded me why it has been un-mowed. Feel like I been wrestling. l.o.l.

Fit the chain harrow in the tractor bucket by crudely rolling it and brought it home to try on the dirt road.
Found the approx. ten pound rock I brush hogged before and took it home.
Clearing up brush relocated years ago after I found it with the mowing deck and a doe came out to see what the racket was. Later when I shut the tractor down her or another watched a while too. Right from a fresh mowed area.
(Later I asked myself why no pictures again.)

3 reel lots in first five pages.
Bidding not to crazy on them yet.
The second encountered lot has a spool case for the 300 Mitchell in the lot probably.
Doesn't say if it contains a spool. Or large or standard capacity spool. Or if a large with the plastic shim to reduce capacity.


A similar iron fella in decent grey/white paint is awaiting my pickup for $14. I'm not sure if it will replace the decades long used rock at the dogs room door yet or not.
A reel. Some knives. Both ion one lot and a single knife in another. Again.
In a lot with some dog stuff is a Coghlans spark type lighter for camping.
I've used welding sparkers/strikers and of course lighters of many stripes for lighting Coleman stuff but I used to sell the Coghlan's at an R.V. place I worked in the early eighties and wanted one. But budget constraints said no. Borrowed the bosses at work instead .
Today they cost too much for my blood on the used market. But no one had much interest in the lot so it's mine cheap. Including the unadvertised and out of place sparker.
One of the two new tie down stakes is work my cost of the entire lot. And will Secure tube protection for young tree transplants.
Maybe I'll burn fingertips less lighting stoves in the bargain.

After filming American Graffiti, transportation manager Henry Travers sold Steve's '58 Impala via a classified ad in the San Francisco Chronicle. A local teenager bought it for $285, and on the way home, the brakes failed, and one of the taillights fell off. The owner kept the car until 2015, when it went to auction and was purchased by NASCAR personality and racing commentator Ray Evernham. Evernham had the car restored to its as-filmed appearance, and the renewed Impala made its public debut at the 2016 SEMA show.
The character Bob Falfa, played by Harrison Ford, drove a '55 Chevy in the film, challenging reigning drag racer Milner. Three black ��55 Chevys were used, including a junkyard find for the crash scene and two others. These cars had previously appeared in the film Two Lane Blacktop. One had a 454-cu.in. V-8 and a Turbo Hydra-Matic 400, while the other was powered by a 427 cu.in. V-8 paired with a Muncie M-22 transmission. During the race scene, the car��s axle broke, and in a second take, the replacement axle broke as well. Only one of the ��55 Chevys remains, and for a time was owned by the same Kansas collector who had the ��32 Deuce coupe. It later went to an owner in Maryland, who restored the car to show condition, though it was extensively changed from its appearance in the film.
In total, some 300 cars were used in filming American Graffiti. Local vintage-car owners were paid $20 to $25 per night (reports vary), plus food, to lend their vehicles to the production.
