My maternal grandfather was my friend, mentor and the man I wanted to be more than anything in the world. His name was Vernon Dillon, born and raised in Safe, MO. He was the hardest working man I knew. When he woke in the morning, he put on his pants and tended his livestock before coming back in the house for his breakfast. He raised cattle, hogs, had a feedlot, raised corn, wheat, oats and of course hay. He worked a full time job in the fire clay mining industry.

My Grandpa Dillon, as I remember him. Sure do miss him...

On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
