[SEL] Make 'em earn their keep!

[Michael Tucker]

Howdy all,

Because of all of the work building the house, we have not been able to 
play engines since Portland 2006! Finally yesterday we latched onto the 
Famous with my granddad's 1948 SC Case tractor and drug her out of the 
corner of the barn so we could then roll her out to do a little work. 
After a little tlc to get her running again we started sawing on our 
huge pile of scrap wood. The goal was to cut the scrap wood up into 
lengths that would work as kindling for starting our winter fireplace 
fires. The Famous ran beautifully and were were able to easily saw a 
bunch of the scrap into great kindling.

I do have a question on how to fix a little problem. The clutch pulley 
on the Famous is a regulation IHC clutch pulley with wooden blocks 
responsible for engaging the pulley. On some of the bigger or harder 
chunks of wood the clutch pulley would "slip" a little and even though 
the engine speed was not phased the blade would slow down a bit. Is 
there anything that we can treat the clutch wood with to make it more 
"sticky?"

See ya',
Mike
