I keep it in my tractors, but have never had it any of my engines except for the 7hp Stickney and I had antifreeze in it as it made the water level more visible in the sight glass. Problem I have with some of my tank cooled engines is that water would slop out of the tank when hauling on a trailer to shows. Which makes keeping antifreeze in the tank more of a hassle than using plain water. -----Original Message----- From: sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com [mailto:sel-bounces at lists.stationary-engine.com] On Behalf Of don.h at wcoil.com Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2013 10:13 AM To: The SEL email discussion list Subject: Re: [SEL] Winter Storage Just put some rv/antifreeze in it instead of trying to drain it its 3 bucks a gal -----Original Message----- From: Best, George Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2013 12:36 PM To: The SEL email discussion list Subject: Re: [SEL] Winter Storage Winter storage is something I need to something about before I forget about it. Last winter I failed to completely drain the water out of a cooling system and ended up with a seized water pump on an engine. I didn't realize the water pump had to be drained separately as the water doesn't drain from it with the rest of the cooling system. I've got the engine drained now since I won't be taking it to any shows until next year. But I've still got water in the darn water pump and need to drain it as I might not be as lucky if the barn gets below freezing again. One of the advantages of my Gade engine is I never need to do anything to get it ready for winter.

Mike -----Original Message----- From: Best, George Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2013 12:29 PM To: The SEL email discussion list Subject: [SEL] OFF TOPIC - Pitching horseshoes This is definitely off topic, but does involve old iron ;-) Don't know if any of you play horseshoes or even know anything about the game, but yesterday was too good to not tell anyone. I live out in the country and some of the houses on our road have horseshoe pits and for many years now we've had what we call the "Daniel Road Horseshoe Pitching Association". The name makes it sound serious, but really it is just neighbors and a few friends getting together once a week during the summer months to play friendly horseshoe games, have a few beers, and rib each other. Yesterday was our season end and the best games I've ever pitched. During the games I played, I tossed 6 or 7 double ringers and in one game tossed double ringers in three straight turns. (six consecutive ringers) Overall I thought I was tossing around 50% ringers, although others though it was much higher which I'm sure they were greatly exaggerating. Just curious, are there any others on the SEL who pitch horseshoes?

I have dealt with a bunch of different mag guys over the years and I like the work Rudy does the best and the price is good. He has a business card ad on Harry's. Rudy is up in MB but he has a post office box in MN, so it makes the shipping easy. Like all good mag guys, he has a backlog of work. Rudy is a die hard engine collector and has been a good guy to know, he is a very knowledgeable fellow and is willing to share what he knows.

Leroy Hey, you old lid puncher. Wheel weights contain a lot of antimony, so they?re not all that soft. They SEEM softer than most babbitt I?ve worked with. If it?s any help, I?ve used wheel weights for bearing material. The bearing is about 2? in diameter, can holds an idler pulley that?s about 30 pounds and pulls about ten horsepower. The last time I checked, there was NO noticeable play. Because of this one experiment, I?d be comfortable using wheel weights again.

I live out in the country and some of the houses on our road have horseshoe pits and for many years now we've had what we call the "Daniel Road Horseshoe Pitching Association". The name makes it sound serious, but really it is just neighbors and a few friends getting together once a week during the summer months to play friendly horseshoe games, have a few beers, and rib each other. Yesterday was our season end and the best games I've ever pitched. During the games I played, I tossed 6 or 7 double ringers and in one game tossed double ringers in three straight turns. (six consecutive ringers) Overall I thought I was tossing around 50% ringers, although others though it was much higher which I'm sure they were greatly exaggerating. Just curious, are there any others on the SEL who pitch horseshoes?

I keep it in my tractors, but have never had it any of my engines except for the 7hp Stickney and I had antifreeze in it as it made the water level more visible in the sight glass. Problem I have with some of my tank cooled engines is that water would slop out of the tank when hauling on a trailer to shows.

Mike -----Original Message----- From: Best, George Sent: Tuesday, September 03, 2013 12:29 PM To: The SEL email discussion list Subject: [SEL] OFF TOPIC - Pitching horseshoes This is definitely off topic, but does involve old iron ;-) Don't know if any of you play horseshoes or even know anything about the game, but yesterday was too good to not tell anyone. I live out in the country and some of the houses on our road have horseshoe pits and for many years now we've had what we call the "Daniel Road Horseshoe Pitching Association". The name makes it sound serious, but really it is just neighbors and a few friends getting together once a week during the summer months to play friendly horseshoe games, have a few beers, and rib each other. Yesterday was our season end and the best games I've ever pitched. During the games I played, I tossed 6 or 7 double ringers and in one game tossed double ringers in three straight turns. (six consecutive ringers) Overall I thought I was tossing around 50% ringers, although others though it was much higher which I'm sure they were greatly exaggerating. Just curious, are there any others on the SEL who pitch horseshoes?

I have dealt with a bunch of different mag guys over the years and I like the work Rudy does the best and the price is good. He has a business card ad on Harry's. Rudy is up in MB but he has a post office box in MN, so it makes the shipping easy. Like all good mag guys, he has a backlog of work. Rudy is a die hard engine collector and has been a good guy to know, he is a very knowledgeable fellow and is willing to share what he knows.

Leroy Hey, you old lid puncher. Wheel weights contain a lot of antimony, so they?re not all that soft. They SEEM softer than most babbitt I?ve worked with. If it?s any help, I?ve used wheel weights for bearing material. The bearing is about 2? in diameter, can holds an idler pulley that?s about 30 pounds and pulls about ten horsepower. The last time I checked, there was NO noticeable play. Because of this one experiment, I?d be comfortable using wheel weights again. Rob
