Pullstart 62,834 #1226 Posted March 28, 2023 Should be a 265 now, give or take. With the flat tops, I’m not sure of the compression numbers. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c-series don 8,688 #1232 Posted June 20, 2023 @ebinmaineI could be wrong but I think some of them came from the factory that would dump? Or maybe I’m just hoping they did! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #1238 Posted July 28, 2023 Claudia and I went on our annual daddy/daughter motorcycle road trip a couple weeks ago and saw this classic piece of IH history on Washington Island WI… looked rough but actually a very restorable machine… or if you like the patina look, get the drivetrain up and running, install new tires, and run it😎 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,834 #1240 Posted July 30, 2023 Mrs. P’s company has a car show on Thursday, August 10. Yesterday, she and I discussed getting “Ole’ Smoky” out of mothballs. No, we don’t actually use mothballs… it’s just been stored far too long. I tossed a battery in it, cranked it over until oil pressure presented itself on the gauge, then rapped the throttle a few times and cranked it again. Oh that sound! A desperate bath was in need. Tires are also. There will be a tractor in the back for the show. It’s been a catch all for a while, from spare camping gear to K91s and everything in between. 8 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #1241 Posted July 30, 2023 Such irony, we decide to get the truck out yesterday and today had a couple hours for a motorcycle ride. We literally stumbled into a car show in a neighboring town. There were so many rides, and so little time. We enjoyed the scenery more than trying to capture it. 7 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At ‘05 Electra Glide. “The couch on wheels” I had these AR-767 wheels and some old 32x11.50-15s I figured I’d try on for size. I like a bigger tire under these, instead of dropping them with smaller tires. It felt great to drive it a couple miles tonight! The clutch chatters a bit, but it always has. That three on the tree and warm 350 feel so good! One of the reasons I love Norman so much, is the throwback design of the hood compared to this ‘69. Classic looks for Chevy! 1 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,834 #1247 Posted August 1, 2023 I found a good used set of 31x10.50-15 Mickeys in town today. They are WIDE on these 10” wheels! Creative use of bead sealer and the tire machine allows me to seat the bead by myself! I need a CHEETAH tank! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #1248 Posted August 1, 2023 While it was on the lift, it got a fresh oil change. I don’t know if I’ve ever topped off the tank, in 12-13 years of ownership. I stuck $89 and some change of rec fuel in and that should last a few days! I never balanced the tires, just popped all the old weights off and mounted ‘em up. No shimmy or shake at 55, good enough for who it’s for! 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
