I had a Crown Vic Police Inerceptor. It was a great vehicle. Got over 300k miles outta it. It got respect on the road while delivering over 20mpg. Tons of power- I towed my boat, snowmobiles, & camper with it. I've owned over 100 vehicles & gotta say it was probably one of my favorites.

I use PJ1 foam filter oil, its sticky so no drip off like motor oil, I can get 100+ hours of mowing out of a paper element and have barely any dirt on it..Just the finest of fines...but the foam sleeve will be packed every 8-10 hours. Its worth doing, the less dirt that hits the paper, the better

There fixed that ...

Here she is: P.S. And yes that is my 87' Chevy and 656 in the background

Amazing America: Studebaker Museum houses special collection of US presidential carriages This report and videos were on the local news last evening. Some of you who come to South Bend for whatever reason I'd suggest, if you have the time, a visit to the Studebaker Museum won't disappoint you. This is just on the presidential carriages commemorating 250 years but you find a very impressive display of all the vehicles Studebaker had a part in as well as other items about South Bends history. I knew the museum had some or all of the Wheel Horses that were on display in their factory when they were still here. They were kinda tucked away in a basement area and the display tags had some incorrect information. I also know that they had more because I saw them when they were still in storage at the museum's old location downtown. I got in touch with the museums curator and he said the Wheel Horse display was in his sights as one of many displays to update. I offered my assistance with the Wheel Horses and he said he will be taking me up on that. His timeline is this summer.

@ML3 very solid looking unit there , first thing that stands out to me is , no rusty wheel wheels , or related trim , more than nicely kept , the detailing / interest , really shows , pete

Stupid auto correct. Lol

Same here and where I moved from in Florida. Land is farmed and handed down through generations. Today it’s easier to make a lot of money at one time selling it off than farming it. All the orange groves I grew up around in central Florida are gone. Loved the smell of orange blossoms when they were in full bloom. Houses and apartment buildings don’t have the same aroma.

For you biker dudes I've been told that I should go here but I haven't yet. It's only about 20 minutes from me. Museum | Kersting's Cycle Center & Museum | Winamac Indiana

CD It is like I always say by the school of hard knocks . Take your time with this it will pay you back in the end,

The hood gas tank and carburetor are on coming together little at a time

Do you have a 520? Looks like the castle nuts on the steering tie rods.

I'm thankful the Amish have deep pockets i my area. Ed, that was actually a quote from @Beap52, not me, but I agree with him.

Yes, our plow from '62 has a bolt that goes through with a castle nut originally, I swapped it our with a pin of the same size so blade could be removed easier.

When I met my wife in 1975, she was driving a 1973 Dodge Coronet 4 door that was an ex detective's car. My FIL got it at auction; it had 88K one driver miles on it and it had had only 1-1/2 years of service. We kept it until 1985. My kids cried when we sold it to buy the Buick. Oh, but then it was OK because they realized the Buick had AC and a nice velour interior!!

I would have to think that there is a Gravely Westchester some where in the building. They were a Studebaker design. Such an interesting look to these things. Would like to add one to my collection some day

The 1960 footrests are quite flimsy which is why I went with the 1961 cast style.

This is only pic I took of pushing snow. Lost my son on 1-26-26 and just now getting back to some sort of normalcy. Appreciate all your thoughts and prayers for me and my family. Im pretty sure @cafoose meet him when he brought me back a tub cart from Big Show and we picked it up at his place when he got back with it. Hope everyone is doing well.

I oil the pre filter. Usually clean it once a year with dish soap. Machine doesn’t do much mowing anymore, so very little dust. My zero turn with the Chinese Toro/Loncin engine has a pre filter that isn’t supposed to be oiled.

Smell like French fries when yer plowin'...

Yep the way Onans blow grass and dust in the air box. It is a pretty tight fit. Thoughts on using a cooking oil like Pam? I might have some of that K&N from Harley days Dan ... if I could remember where you put it

I used to try and save money on air filters, now I just change them. Some machines are, like the one my daughter uses, is running in very dusty condition, replace it more often. I have used a pre-spray from AFE, my son left a bottle here, just like Dan says it is nice to use. no fuss or muss. Usually I just go dry. All of my workers are big twins and they suck a lot of air. hey cut a hole, double stack and run 2 years! shaker hood

Me to as often as I can. I identify as an Udder Tugger. And I do not have bovines.

I do inspect nipples regularly. Only had the dash light come on one time on a 520H. I pulled the air filter and at first glance it appeared almost new. Putting a bright light inside showed it was rather clogged. That tells me that the oiled pre-filter was doing a super job and closer inspection of the air filter is necessary, the 20 HP engine uses enough gas without restricting the air intake. Maybe that is part of the reason so many claim that the Onans are gas hogs.

I'm not a slob and oil the prefilter and no mess. I also have a spare for each size. Take out the dirty, oil up a clean one and put it in. Clean up the old one and put it in the cabinet after it dries for the next time

Not as bad as oil filters ... Gotta pull the trigger on the right ones. Wadda you go to the Pullstart school of just ain't right?? Not a squeaky filter in the house ... No never supposed to blow out air filters except for maybe the shop vac. Guys to to blow out furnace air filters but all that does is loosen it up to get sucked through, Little known fact ... a filter catches smaller particles the dirtier it gets. The holes air must pass through get smaller and smaller till it won't pass air at all. That's when that dash light won't come on because the nipple broke off the back of the sensor ...

This would be a good opportunity to go with an electric pump.

I vote for the ATV/UTV tires. I put 25x900x12 Carlisle All Trails 2 on my 312-8.
