My wife and I hit the road yesterday morning headed for Penn Yan, NY to pick up my new toy.
It was a 10 hour round trip, but it was nice to get away for the day.
I’ve brought home some pretty filthy engines in the past, but this one was, by far, the filthiest! There were dust bunnies the size of cotton balls all over this thing. Piles of mouse droppings under the engine. Just a thick layer of dirt and oil scum over the entire thing. It really cleaned up nice and I am very pleased with it. It’s a long ways from perfect, but very presentable. I still have to fool around with the feed water pump yet as it is not moving water. I have a feeling it has gummy oil in it. The boiler had a bunch of oil in it too.
The buyer’s premium and the sales tax were a bummer, but I’m happy with what I paid. I expected to be outbid.
It runs really nice, which is not surprising. Lol
