| − | #For YEARS I have been collecting automobile components. #I was always going to use them for some project or another but most of the time they just end up collecting dust. I have whole vehicles, I have engines and I have a whole assortment of miscellaneous pieces just occupying space where I live. #My wife and my mother have come to the conclusion that I just have too much stuff and I should get rid of some of it! That is an idea that I personally find very REVOLTING! | + | #aaaaaa |
| − | #I LIKE my parts but in an effort to restore peace in my abode, I thought I would create this web page to show them that I am making a real effort to dispose of some of my automotive components. #I do have a few things that I had no planned purpose for when I acquired them but I thought I needed to posses them for some unknown reason. So If You Want Automobile Parts I Might Have The Very Thing You Are LOOKING For! but them again I might not. We will never know unless you contact me. At least I can show my wife that I made a genuine effort to reduce the extensive inventory of automotive spares I have built up over the years! | + | #eeeeee |
| − | #This weekend I went to an auction and bought a 1984 Buick Skylark Limited. The 2.8 V6 ran great all the way home. It even has a brand new battery in it. The next day I took the Skylark for a drive and 20 miles away from home it stopped moving. The V6 was humming away but I just was not going anywhere! I shut the Buick off and sat there for awhile. When I started the Skylark back up and put it in drive it moved! Down the road it went but only for a half mile then it rolled to a stop again. I finally made it to the next town by repeating this procedure several times. I called Mom to come and take me home. I drove Old Green II with a trailer hitched behind me back to that town to retrieve my ailing Skylark Limited. #Once I trailered it home I changed the tranny fluid and filter. I have driven the Skylark over 300 miles since without a problem. It even gets great gas milage! | + | #text before <br />:abc |

| − | #I have now put well over 4000 miles on the Skylark. It sips the gas and the oil has only went down a fraction of an inch on the dipstick.

| − | #I have now put about 7000 miles on this Skylark. | + | #oooooo |
| − | #Well the Skylark is dead! After putting well over 10,000 miles on the little Buick the tranny has began to slip a little. I have parked it for good.
| + | |
| − | #I have sold the Skylark to a lifelong friend. He has a blazer with a 2.8 in it and decided to buy the little Buick for the V-6. So far he has had a good time pulling wagons around his farm with it.

| − | #This is a John Deere styled D antique tractor pulling an antique John Deere threshing machine in the 4th of July Parade (held on the 3rd of July). Bob Queck is the owner of this fine John Deere equipment.

| − | #I had never seen this kind of machine in operation since by the time I grew up this type of harvesting was long obsolete. I had the opportunity to watch Bob set this threshing machine up for an exhibit at the fair. I was amazed at the number of belts that had to be put on. First Bob had to line the tractor up just so for the big main drive belt, at 6 inches wide, roughly 40 feet long and weighing 100 pounds, it was the biggest belt in the whole operation. Next came all the various small belts. It turned out to be quite a lengthy operation to get everything set up right. I was surprised when I was informed that they never left a belt on the machine overnight but they removed all belts nightly just to go through the whole operation the next day!

| − | #There were several "experienced" people assisting with the whole operation. Afterwards we all stood around and they filled my head with tales of their threshing days. I found this to be very entertaining, they had found an eager audience.

| − | #Visions of Threshing feasts made my mouth water as they wove tails of tables full of crisp fried chicken (in the days before refrigeration the chicken would be butchered in the morning to be on the menu by noon), mounds of mashed potatoes a foot high and fresh pies that were cut in only four pieces.

| − | #Cool water for the men on the crew to drink was provided in a very inventive fashion. The water was drawn from the well into jugs which were wrapped in burlap bags. The burlap was wet down(evaporation from this provided the cooling power). The bags were then draped over a pony ridden by a child. It was then the child's job to make the rounds so the men could drink.
