Maybe I didn't describe it well enough. The air shocks did not twist anything. The car was so high the shocks themselves were completely out of travel. It really didn't matter what shocks it had at that point. Normally the shocks are just absorbing.. slowing the rearends reaction..on this car...

Lifting the car "a little" w air shocks likely won't tear anything up. But.... Back in the day they jacked them up as far as the shock would lift the car. Our 69 bee was from that era..taller shackles and air shocks..resulting in the previous owner ripping the whole shock cross member out of the...

My '45 M, built during world war II. I need to get it in the shop and pull the engine, it spun a rod bearing. I painted it in the late 80s. I think I was 15 or so. We put live hydraulics on it, Dad widened the rear rims and made mounts for a newer front mount cultivator along w modern seat with...

He had a Big G 55' disk with 28" blades. The wings folded twice. It was one heavy Sob. It pulled it easily. The hard pull was a 5 shank ripper that was meant to go 5' deep. The shanks were some thick steel. It was built in California to work in the Salt on the bottom. He used it to bring soil...

Since we are talking detroit 2 strokes...I found a picture of my cousins homemade tractor. 8v92ta in the front 450hp 8v92 in the back 380hp 13 speed on each with two pairs of everything in the cab. It held 900 gallons of fuel in its home made fuel tanks. I think they built in the late 70s.

We're 2nd owners of this Super MTA..Neighbor bought this one new..our is a gas and we still use it. Starting on gas and switching to diesel is pretty neat, very easy on fuel. But lots of places for the heads to crack!. Friend had a MD..had a heck of time finding a good head!

A few photos from the barn today. Grandpa built the barn around 1920, he used cottonwood trees as poles. In the second photo the horse stalls are in the background. Thete is a Farmall 450 along with Dads IH 706 (I spent most my time running as a kid), Grandpa's MM U302 propane and Ferguson...

I definitely have a love of old Iron that goes beyond cars and trucks. I enjoy going to the working antique shows but havent made it to any this year. The Avery tractor below is from Albany days at Albany, KS. I usually attend their show in September. As far as classics go I own a '45 M...

My 2 girls got introduced to my nephews new pup Pippen. A Border Collie mix. Penny wasnt thrilled.Lol In her defense...she is all puppied out! But, our 8 month old Pug named Tally was excited!

My condolences ...I understand the pain. Its a reminder to Love them and spoil them while they are with you. It sounds like you did just that. Cherish the memories of your 4 legged friend.

Quality of thermostats these days is poor, it could be a restriction by not opening enough....or possibly the lower hose is getting sucked shut at the higher rpms down the highway? We've found in some performance applications...Evans is far superior to anything else.
