[SEL] Question for the List

[Larry Sain]

Hi Curt,

Yep, the setup at Belwood is a little Chattanooga #11.  Originally
horse-drawn, now geared to run off the PTO of a tractor.  If I could figure
out how to set it up, I'd have a nice display to bring to Cotton Ginning
Days.  The Reid might be a little overkill.  Also scares me just to crank
it!  Can you imagine throwing a belt on that thing?

Larry

PS  I'm still recovering from two back surgeries in July, but hope to be at
Dallas with at least a small engine.

equipment I'd like to run with one of my engines, probably the throttle
governed 7 hp Witte.  It's a cane mill and weighs 1250 pounds.  The question
is...can I carry this hunk of cast iron on my Chevy 1500 Z71 pickup or do I
need a bigger truck?  Seems like an easy question unless you don't know the
answer, which I don't.  Comments?  Thanks in advance for your input.
