One more Rare Bird - 1947 Pond Lever Steer

Recommended Posts

Honestly.  Fuel on this is cheap.  See me around with it?  Got shoes?  Boots?  I’ll show you a good time.  Yeah @squonk no Jesus Cruisers allowed, you’ll burn those @WHX24 @19richie66 nubbies off your left toes right now!

One of the few WH parts that can bought at a big box store! Of course the handle, well, that's much harder to come by!

I'd say thats pretty good for a 70+ year old stater rope if'n thats the original rope. I would bet uou would get even a year out the rope they sell now days. Probably  comes from China, Philippines or Indonesia.

Someone mentioned that I should remember to clean out the rest of the nest that didn’t fly out before the show.  Well, come to find out it would be the (near) death of Jackie.  We were cruising with @stevebo, @AMC RULES and @buckrancher on Friday evening and a vibration overcame the rotating mass bad enough that I parked the Lever Steer for the rest of the weekend.

This kind of sucks.  There’s still some satisfaction in it though...

Sad news... the left side tire blew a foot long hole in the sidewall some time between last night and now.  :(

You and I seem to have one or more things in common, the harder we try the worse off we are Kev. Someday we will have to trade injury and close call stories. By all rights I really shouldn't still be here.     :ROTF:
