Don't forget in a Stagecoach, also known as Greyhound Bus. When I was in the bus industry, the gray dog was running 6v92 turbos, with 5 speed Allison trans. Gutless Wonder until get them wound up. Outfit I ran for used 8v71 with 4 speed gear drive, later 5 speed. Had some 1986 models with 8v92 turbos with 5 speed. Those were fun to herd down the road.

Said in his 35 years building engines he only had 1 run away.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. 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.
