Remember the line in "Jaws"- - - - -"You're gonna need a bigger boat!"? It looks like "I'm gonna need a bigger shop!"- - - - - -or at least finish the expansion of the one I have in progress! There's a used machine shop equipment dealer in Lubbock Texas who keeps advertising stuff I've wanted to acquire for years- - - -the same guy who sold me one of my crankshaft grinders several years ago. This time he's got a cylinder head and engine block milling machine, and a rotary hot water pressure washer cabinet, both at very tempting prices. I need more equipment about like a drunk needs a long term lease on a liquor store, but that's never stopped me before! LOL! Jerry

Yes, I like to whittle on cast iron and make non-original parts that are more plentiful and less expensive than OEM stovebolt stuff fit. If the engine happens to get 30 or 40 cubic inches bigger and still looks just like original, so much the better! Jerry

I don’t see a skimmer on that washer. Could be a pain to clean out after about 10 cycles.

LOL! Good one! Don, the old boy in Lubbock can probably add a skimmer to the deal- - - - -he's easy to work with and he doesn't try to rob his customers like some of the folks who advertise on Ebay. Jerry

Hopefully he has a way to gently lift that onto the trailer ....

He put a 2-ton crankshaft grinder onto a trailer for me a few years ago with his forklift, without a hitch. The guy is a master with a forklift! Jerry
