[SEL] For Ted..parkerizing

[Richard Strobel]

Glad to hear from ya, Ed.  Restoration at this point is a bad term.  Up and 
running would be better.  Problem now is how to mount the so called belt 
mandrel and motor.  Unlike yours there are no provisions for mounting them 
to the lathe.  It might have been line shaft driven in it's younger days. 
Guess I could mount them on the wall behind and above but really didn't want 
to do that.  Spent most of the day yesterday cleaning the lead screw and 
polishing out some dings...and seems a lot smoother now.

  I did by surprize stumble on a book at Tony's site in the UK, but he wants 
42 rockets for it.

  Well overnight we had 3 inches of snow with more on the way so I guess 
it's time to mount the snowplow on the wheeler.

  I'll get some pictures taken and loaded into Webshots.  If anyone can 
trick this baby out, it's the list.

Take Care,
Rick
