Got VERY lucky yesterday! Had cleaned up my Farmall C and Ford 2N and backed them both up onto the trailer and was getting chains out to tighten them down.
Threw all my chains and then started putting binders on.
Was on my 2nd to last binder, and I put my cheater on it to really suck the Farmall down, and I pulled it over, it snapped like it should, but when it tightened, it rolled with the chain, and I couldn't get the cheater off the end of it because it was pinched between the bed of the trailer.
So I kind of messed with it for a second, then I just figured I would really yank on it hard, and it would just pop out. So, I put a foot up on the trailer for better pull power, and gave it a yank!
Next thing I saw was a 3 1/2 foot chrome cheater heading at warp speed right for my, well, "area". Sure enough hit myself right in the crotch with this cheater, and then I felt an over whelming pain in my right ankle, you know, the one I put on the trailer for better power!
So, what must have happened is that when I tried to sneak the cheater out, the binder flipped over, and released, and due to the power behind it sent the cheater flying upwards (with me still tugging on it) and then slammed into the left side of my right ankle.
Amazed that it didn't break something.... Multi colored today to say the least, but it actually isn't feeling to bad! Am walking around easily already!

After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
