[SEL] SEL working

[Tod Engine Foundation]

I usually try to visit Coolsprings at least for one day each year, but 
couldn't make it this year.  The Tod Engine project was given the use of a 
20,000 lb. forklift to use for the summer and I've been spending all my time 
getting it running. It needed a new carburetor and it took quite a while to 
find a plain old single barrel to put on it.  We had to make up an adapter 
for it, then had to put a new exhaust on.  I had some 2" sweeping conduit 
elbows and pipe fittings and fashioned the exhaust out of that.  It will 
take 100 years for that exhaust to rot away!

This forklift has a 20' reach, the highest I've ever seen a forklift go! 
Finally did get it running last night, and we just had to drive it around 
the block.  It was raining and when that high mast hit some tree branches 
all the water came down on our heads. :-)

It will be a great help in erecting our new enginehouse building over the 
summer.
