Dang. Nice!
My neighbor growing up had a treadle setup like that.
This one is also a model 15 but with the electric motor. Did a bunch of repairs on it a couple years back but haven't really used it since. Used to have family or friends that would show me how to set it up, etc.
The story on mine is that it came from one of my grandmothers. I think the electric was factory option late in the production years.

Not sure... They've been blood shot for fourmonths now... It may be dsomething I was exposed to at work...

I've been to two doctors and have had two different eye drops and now some ountment, but it's not getting much better...

I tried to get an appt with an eye doctor, but they are booked up until May...

Meant to say my neighbor's treadle machine didn't collect much dust either. She used it. Maybe not as much as my aunt who made clothes for her kids. At least by the time I knew her - her kids were grown up and moved away and kids of their own.
Same nieghbor showed me how to darn wool socks.

I'm calling OSHA! :eek: I see unguarded sheaves and drive belts! That little moving shaft is an issue also. Don't forget your hearing and eye protection after the guards are installed and approved. :lol:

Actually is is the same starter sold for either. But if you wanted the higher torque starter , you bought the #3258, rather than the #3250 unit.....

Thanks. Trying to help a buddy with his 68 413 dart. Starter in it was locked, was giving him one of mine laying around but I didn’t label which was big block and small block :mad:

Fuel tank brackets almost done. Think i lifted it into place 8 times so far. Its bone dry, and a plastic fuel tank so its really easy to manage...
 
Got the new microwave installed. It went in a lot easier than the old one came out.

I'm headed out to a Closed Super Bowl Party at my Sons Restaurant. Should be Fun. $50, All you can eat, and a $25 square on the FB Pool..:thumbsup:
 
Clear, 64*, sustained @20mph (a normal March afternoon) not exactly the destructive monster storm predicted /:l

Same temp here but with gusts up to 45 mph
 
Got some fishing in this morning.. Nothing to keep, but the wife was having fun catching the small sunfish, probably caught about 40 of them... Just no size so we packed it up and came home.. Been working on the snowmobile and finally have spark on both cylinders now.. Except I have a fouled plug so I need to go and pick up a couple more.

Had a high of 45*. Beautiful!!!! Plans for the night... fry up some fish from a prior outing, not watch the superbowl, and who knows what else I may do.
