First, let's leave the politics out of this thread! I noticed the other thread that got started on this subject got locked, and I assume it was due to the political slant of it's direction. Now; I also regularly visit Tinboats.net, and this was talked about. It was noticed that outboard...

As a kid, we had goats, chickens, geese, and even a pair of Peacocks at one time. The most interesting chicken we had though, was a clutch of Orocanas, also known as the Easter egg chicken. They'll lay eggs in about four different light pastel colors. Roger

EWWWW! Roger

Another Heathkit, just like your post. No radio or engine, but the rest is in fair condition. Roger

Hey, XR7......need another for parts? Roger

Actually, SA, it doesn't always work like that. No thermostat means unregulated coolant flow. It's not uncommon for an engine to overheat, because the coolant flows too fast through the radiator, and isn't able to shed the heat quick enough. This leads to excessive heat buildup and...

Rob; if you're so inclined, here's a link to a board that I frequent. https://www.jeepforum.com/forum/ Roger

Good luck with that. When was the last time a power plant of any type was built, let alone a nuke plant? Tree huggers raise holy hello when one is proposed, and file so many lawsuits, it gets delayed until the next coming. Your proposal of snow making to combat glacier melt may have merit, but...

Still have it, and you're first in line. I'm in 50707. Shoot me a zip code and I'll get an estimate of packaged shipping cost. Roger

OK, it appears that someone may have attempted to send me something concerning this. My screen was showing that I have two "alerts", but when I attempt to open them, I am told that I have no alerts. If you're wanting to call DIBS on it, you might want to post up in this thread, in the off chance...

Free for the shipping. I rescued it from a scrap metal dumpster, and have no real use for it. I know some of you are into really vintage stuff. Rope pull, appears relatively complete, with exception of tension clip on spark plug wire. Does turn over, still has some compression.

Well, I know that the FL250 Odyssey used rectangular frame rails. I think it was the FL350 that went to a full tube frame, so it might be some aftermarket body shell for it. Roger

Well, it was as good in person as the pic let on. Had good compression, was missing the tail light lens, but had a key in the switch. No ownership documents available, but that wouldn't have been too much of an issue in Iowa. Bad news.......on-line bidding drove it to $650, and live bidders...

Not yet. The auction is on the 7th, so I have to be patient, too. Roger

Oh, I'll definitely be going. I may be too much of a tightwad to bring it home, but I'm surely going to see about it. There's also an old sears "106" bike listed, but no pics. (I wonder if it sports an "Allstate" badge?) Thanks for the ads, Murphy. Roger

Upcoming farm auction has a "80cc Rupp minibike" listed, but no other info. Wheels look a bit large for a "mini" bike. More toward the size of 16" or 18", so that throws me a little. (Let's see if I can get a pic up.) Roger

First, do you have any idea what the engine came out of? If not, then my suggestion is to hit up your local library for a book on snowmobile repair. Look for something that covers 70's vintage sleds, then look in the wiring diagrams for that motor, that should get you a starting point. I would...

That is insane. Did a quick search on their site, and found #90770A029 that is a different alloy, but still a marine grade of stainless. $5.56 per 5-pack. Roger

Surely they aren't grasping your explanation. There's no way that one, 1/4" stainless washer could cost 6+ dollars. Maybe if you sent them that pic? Roger
