[SEL] Blackstone progress

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Glenn,
    Mentioning your Atlas, I got my Krueger Atlas home.  I think it has 
the 2 key ways on each flywheel hub also.  Here are some photos.  I've 
got some work to do on it as I'll have to have patterns made for a carb, 
ignitor, and fuel pump.  Just a bit of work to bring it back to life.

I love the governor on these engines as its nice to watch it spinning 
around while its running.
