Someone asked me for an update in another thread, and since I haven't been around in a while, I'll give you the quick answer:
I'm in "work-ups" for deployment. Towards the end of the year I'll be heading out for a 7 month cruise. Work-ups take us out of our home area here and there, and keep us very busy. So, that leaves no time, and little money for my H.
My next major step is tires. I'm figuring a grand for that. Then I can stip the old ones, get the rims blasted and painted, then put the new sneakers on. Then I'll figure out the rest.
Kirk's mag still sits in a box. Rusty's rebuilt carb does as well. I'll just have to be patient. I had the manifold that came on the tractor fixed up.

Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!!
