Hot exhaust aimed at chain-- but probably a lot of hot oil in the exhaust that would help lubricate it. think of old Harley before 1936(?)- didn't have return oil pump, oil spun around crankcase and exited after few passes out exhaust- or dribbled on road or weeped out valve spring area that wasn't covered until knuckleheads (still weeped some). Splash lube common- think of IHC F20, 10-20 with light smoking exhaust about normal. Maserati might be another agriculture maker that got into sports cars-- Ferrari article had reference to broken transmissions on early Ferrari's using Fiat car types, Maserati demonstrated his transmission wouldn't break, Ferrari said wouldn't use farm tractor parts so Maserati made a V8 with some of his factory tractor parts, transmission and rear axle with gears from earth mover/tractor, live axle with agriculture implement brakes, went racing just to annoy Enzio Ferrari (and get some publicity). Longer than sprint races the Ferrari's always took lead for first few laps, out handle Maserati's on curves-- but after 100 miles or so Maserati's were in lead because Ferrari's rear axles or transmission were broken and if not then brakes were acting up, sometime clutches slipping. Ferrari found other than Fiat car parts to use- some from FIAT truck line or other strong racing parts maker or made his own- no longer a hot rodded Fiat. Maserati GTs had reputation for reliability over Ferrari in Italian- favored by wealthy vineyard owners and farm estate owners and joke was they wanted fast tractor that their usual ag implement maker had in stock, knew it would last- and some would have a Agriculture license plate in some countries that made tractors used on road have license plates, registration but cost a lot less than fancy car plates--MOT/Ministry of Transport would see maker name and it would be on list of tractor makers so give cheap plates. Lancia had some agricultural implement, maybe special tractor for vinyards-- but that was after the trucks and sedans, sporty sedans already made. Fiat tractors, Renaults were like Fords- agriculture tractors were after the car and trucks made a few years so the Gordini and Abarth hot rod variations might be considered after tractors made. RN

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
