Wouldn't this be great for moving projects around the yard?

how big of stuff do you want to move around?


good way to justify the reason get one if you "need" stuff to be moved around

I have one that my wife's grandpa had and used on the farm in the fifties. The winch, 2000psi compressor and generator are gone. It had been parked for years in the trees, I recovered it and brought it home. I started to work on it but when I pulled the head found a very damaged piston,cylinder etc. The engine is 100hp flathead hercules and top speed is 22mph (if I remember right) Used to tow aircraft(bombers) they have rubbertracks. 14000 lbs

Hey Reb87, If you wanted to restore it or get it running a competent machine shop should be able to bore it out and sleeve it. You could then either get new pistons made or maybe find some NOS pistons. Are the rods bent or cracked? Is the crank ok?
