That is a beautiful engine - you did a great job building it! Looking forward to seeing it run.

With the recent Covid-19 isolation policy, I have been finding more time to clean out closets around in the house, do some metal detecting, and I also was able to finish this little New Holland engine that I started working on nine months ago.  I was told by many others that this is quite a difficult engine to get running, and they were right!

I have not had it running yet, but have decided to set it aside and start on a couple of other projects that are piling up in the shop.  I've started building one of Bob Herder's water-cooled vertical Domestic engines, which should keep me busy throughout this next month of isolation.
