FINALLY!!! All the mechanical work is done. (well enough for now) This was my winter project. It's a '53 Super M with a 2-71 GM two stroke Diesel. It turned out to be a lot more work than I thought but I did a lot of different stuff to it also. I completely rebuilt and re-machined the brakes (I can drag a tire with my big toe), new seals all around, completely rebuilt the front end, all new steering, rebuilt shifter, tranny seems good and quiet because it was a loader tractor for many years, dual air filter set-up with K&N filters inside, electric radiator fan, new radiator. The engine runs out at 2100 RPM max and should put out about 65 HP. I'll find out next weekend at a local tractor show. I machined up a custom billet rear cover for the engine and I machined about a 2 inch spacer between the crank and flywheel. This allows you to use the stock flywheel, clutch and starter location. Everything is balanced up also. 2-71's have counter balance shafts and the engine runs amazingly smooth for a two cylinder. I also made a custom oil filler, air intake and relocated the original oil filter and breather so I didn't have to cut the hood at all. Believe it or not it is not very loud either with a muffler and a good silenced air intake. I had a straight intake on it this spring and those 2-stroke blowers make as much noise as the exhaust! I've got K&N filters inside the original oil bath air cleaners and a lot of rubber inside them also so it silences it nearly completely. Next I want to get some nice 16.9's on it since the rims are already widened 2 inches and eventually paint. For now though I'll just have to be happy playing with it at the shows the next few months and a tractor ride this weekend to re-familiarize myself with my family. I’ve been known as that “guy in the shop” for a too many months now! I can answer any other questions. Fire away. Mark

When Push Comes to Shove - by Dave Patterson. When I was a “kid” (still am to a deree) about two I guess, my parents couldn’t find me one day. They were horrified (we lived by the railroad), my mother thought the worst: "He’s been run over by a train, he’s gone forever!" Where did they find me? Perched up on the seat of the tractor. I’d probably plowed about 3000 acres (in my head anyway) by the time they found me. This is where my love for tractors started and has only gotten worse in my tender 50 yrs on this “green planet”. I’m par
