Truck now has 50,000 miles on it and only time it has seen a dealer is when I had to drop the chevy diesel off...

    Thanks to Gene Ficken I was able to get dads Christmas shopping out of the way. I thought Gene did a great job and had a great idea if anyone remembers the story about the Oliver 70 paint selection.

    OT My Son's Not Too Happy With Me Right Now

    Well depends what state you live in if it is illegal or not. In Wisconsin you can drink in a bar with your parent until you are 18. Once you are 18 you are no longer a minor and cannot drink with em. Course this is also up to the owner of the bar. As for me I think beer tasted better when I was...

    MM stationary engines. What all did they run?

    A number of tractors larger than the 1650 have MM engines. (1355-2655 just for a few) Joke was White found a storage area full of engines and built the 2-150 until they ran out The 2-150 was the last I think the poor little waukesha running over 40 years is doing just fine.
