Rabbits. We had Hampshire's and Duroc's. (swine) My stepdad was a herdsman for a big farmer here that raised purebreds for breeding stock.
See the line, "remove 3/16" rod.? That line is missing from the 1971 manual I have.
Your spelling is spot on Hampshire's was a great breed back in my day, much more friendly and manageable, good parents and big liters, not as big as the Duroc's, there was another breed, something like China-polen? Remember my spelling suuu.uu..cks..
Spotted Poland China.
Thank you ! Holly Molly my goodness I was 11 to 14 working there full time during the off season (winter int early spring ) then it was back to the grain ben work, a co-op in Paw Paw Illinois. Yep I was young, but a 13 year old that could and would drive anything, and dump stored grain was a win win for them.
I have to tell a funny story. Their Duroc boar was a monster. As big as my kitchen table and too big for most of the guilts he tried to breed. The did a lot of artificial insemination and had a collection dummy in the machine shed. Just a big log covered with blankets. The old boar would mount up and go to town and they would collect the semen in a jar.
One day Dad went to feed the old guy and he had broken out of his pen. They looked all over the farm for him and as Dad was walking past the shed he could hear the old boy oinking up a storm. He checked inside and he was on top of that collection dummy just screwing the heck out of it.
Dad about pissed his pants laughing when he told that story.

Just the facts, ma'am
This one is from the '65 Plymouth FSM
Looks more like your photos
So basically here making sure the throttle is at slow idle.
And no spring pressure with the upper rod disconnected.
Is this step being shortcutted?
I know the intermediate rod length can be important, I don't know what the 'stop' is but seems to be related to the throttle lever on the trans. I assume this is the WOT possition on the trans.
This part is a little different
Then adjust the throttle cable
One thing about a large, or small pig, if they want out it usually goes there way, strong and smart, very very strong, love that story, thanks for the nea slapper..lol.I have to tell a funny story.

OK. Similar but different!
I just tried a step by step comparison of what you wrote to whats in the '65 FSM.
I dont have the '64
I remember that ol' Duroc boar. He was huge but so mild mannered. You could walk him around the barnyard by patting him on the back, side to side, to turn him. He was almost a pet.
I want to try some Duroc pork, heard it's pretty tasty but not sure where to find it

Since we are telling rabbit stories……….
As a young firefighter we had a call out one dark winters night. It was a trailer house, we called em scrapers because after the fire all you could do was scrape them into a pile. So it burns down to the pad. Me and my hose partner (who also happens to be my hunting partner) both being new, were tasked with spending the night onsite to ensure we did not get a rekindle of any kind. We are sitting there mesmerized on a cold night by the dying embers of the home. We hear a commotion and go to investigate. It is a couple of very fat domestic caged rabbits. The fire was so hot it melted the shingles a bit on top of their hutch, the rabbits were not happy. In our infinite wisdom we started discussing the merits of putting the rabbits out of their misery with a sharp stick and the embers from the fire. These rabbits was fat, we are talking fat like only hutch rabbits can be! We had an abundance of stick material, we had knives and the smoldering remains of a great fire. Prior to being able to execute said plan our relief showed up. So a couple days later our Chief calls us into his office on the carpet, he is calling us everything but a fireman, turns out the family had taken refuge in the woods beside the house (due to some criminal issues).As a result unbeknownst to us we were discussing the cooking of their pets over the remains of their home. Our Chief was not pleased to say the least, not the best optic. Hah!

We’ve got Rex/Flemish crosses. Very early into this endeavor but more protein per rabbit than on a meat chicken. And rabbits don’t have feathers to pluck!!!
Yeah..
Took it out on the road for a couple of miles. It's running through the gears but seems a bit "off" like it's straining.
I did get up to 55mph... so that's a first.
Definitely improved. I need to read a bit on adjusting and track speed/rpm on the shifts
Also, there's an incline on my road and driveway. It really struggles to get up the hills at low speed. Almost stalls
I had a Checkered Giant until a critter got it. It was huge.

You boys and one girl put up over thirty pages since I was on here. Sometimes I forget the pace at which this group can generate prose about nothing. Well done!
