[SEL] Wooden spray tank repair.

[rdhaskell at juno.com]

Hi again Dave.
This is a spray rig at Cal Poly Pomona.  Originally used by Kellogg
himself.  Our club (WAPA) is volunteering to restore the rig with Novo
engine and triplex pump to working condition.  It will probably be pulled
around behind an old tractor spraying water, during special events.
