Bo, I've read most of what you have said on the subject of fuel and the shortage thereof, and I agree with most everything you have to say on the subject. It is obvious that you DO do your homework and not just listen to those who's opinion is based on someone elses agenda. I too have done extensive reading on E-85, E-10, and other ethanol alternatives, and while it would certainly on the surface benefit the farmers, I'm not so sure that it is going to be the fuel of the future that is going to save the planet. And I'm certainly not convinced that it will be a cheaper alternative. A BTU is a BTU, and it doesnt matter whether it comes from gasoline or lard, it takes a certain number of BTU's to produce a measured amount of energy. I still think that Hydrogen can be the engine fuel of the future. I know that it scares many people as Hydrogen is an extreemly volitile gas and carrying Hydrogen fuel cells around in a car or truck is scary, but it doesnt have to be that way. One should be able to fill the tank with water and extract the hydrogen from the water as needed. i know first hand that this can be done, as I have seen it first hand. In 1991, right at the time of the first gulf war, I worked as a machinist, and did some work for a man named Stanley Meyerin Columbus Ohio. (His work is documented and available by going to google and typing in his name) At first I thought he was a crack pot and was operating on the same assumption I had in High School Chemestry and Physics, that being, If hydrogen is flamable, and oxygen is a catylist, then isnt it reasonable to think that water should burn? Well, of course it isnt quite that simple, but Hydrogen being our most abundant element, certainly there has to be a way to extract it safely and use it. Thats where Stanley Meyer comes in. He may have been a crack pot, and he said many things in the several months I was machining parts for him to make anyone think that, because he was extreemly paranoid that he would become a marked man, and more than a few people would benefit from his death. That notwithstanding, I was able to see first hand the car that he ran on water. It was a VW beach buggy, and carried absolutely no gasolene, only water. He had invented, and patented a process to extract hydrogen from water. According to him, there is enough energy in a gallon of water to drive a car up to 300 miles. We done see his invention, as he died mysteriously one night shortly after having dinner with his brother in a restaurant. He believed he had been poisoned, but it was never proven. Could have been aheart attack and nothing more, but in light of everything he said, it was indeed mysterious. Take a look, and see what you think. There are several interesting articles in regard to his work.

Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK). There is no known history regarding its origins or what service it had done, but the following work was undertaken alone to bring it up to show standard. From the engine number, it was found that this Major was produced late 1946. It was almost complete but had various parts that would definitely need replacing.
