Its been about a 3 weeks since weve been able to spend some time on the old M. Just to recap where were at with this project, I bought it at auction in late July in non running condition with a stuck brake. My son really took an interest in it so we started working together on it. We got the brake working, rewired it, rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the sediment bowl and fuel line. Installed new spark plug wires, cap, rotor, points, and coil cover. Changed oil and filter. Checked the valve train, and got it running. Today we put in a new set of gauges. Since we dont the know history of this machine I really didnt want to run it much with out some input from working gauges. We replaced the seat shock. Installed heavy battery cables. Beat the PTO shield half way back into shape and put it on. The last thing we did today was replacing the throttle lever with a friction style one. Thats just personal preference. Ive never cared for the saw tooth style and usually change them out. I think were just about ready to put some hours on it and see how it does. I do have a couple of questions I hope you can help with. We are still having starting trouble and today I noticed the post on the starter is loose. Could it be shorting out internally? I think I can take the starter apart and fix it just something Ive never done before. 2nd question: how in the world do I get the old steering wheel off? It in pretty tough shape. We taped it up just to use it for now. Ive got a new one here just need to find a way to get the old one off. Thanks for your input and thoughts as always! Next update we should be putting some run time on it!

Today's Featured Article - On the Road with Dave Gohl: Auction Musings - by Dave Gohl. I was thinking the other day about all the auctions I've been to in the last few years. There've been many. Some have been very good, some have been well, disappointing to say the least. But no matter how good or bad auctions may be, we always seem to stay until the item we've come for or are interested in is on the block. I've been to some auctions near and far. I think the furthest has been the Two Cylinder 7 in the Amana Colonies last year. Lots of stuff, lots of people. I've also atten
