Flathead conundrum.

Yeah, I think I needed the voice of reasoning. I really don’t even have time to work on the Flatheads I do have.
Maybe I’ll just make an offer on one or two of them and see what happens, worst he can say is no. And I’ll probably be better off for it.

Just a suggestion but a piece of PVC tubing dipped into the barrel all way to bottom like a straw block end and pull out to check for water in bottom of barrel as that would be a real mess.

Sounds like you are looking for a reason to not accumulate them. Then again, from my perspective, if I had the room, and the price was right, I would not think twice about taking them.

We shall see,
I mean, I wouldn’t mind having one or two of the pickled engines just to see what kind of shape they’re in. I just don’t know if I wanna take on the whole package.There is a lot.
Next time I go over there I’ll get some pictures.
Kiwinus,
I have some paste that you put on a stick, it changes color if there’s water in the oil. Kind of needed it all the time up here.

Just thinkin'. In this case, "one man's trash is another man's treasures", might just be true.

I have tried to sell a lot of this stuff at very low prices with zero interest. Some I have given away to "good guys" and was happy that stuff found a use.
Nah, at this point in the hobby as well as my life, well, some will get listed, some will get dumped.

A few years ago I advertised all of my extra’s for sale. I have a shed full and more. Not much interest then, I had one guy looking for starter/gen for his project. I just gave them to him.
If any of you come to visit Alaska, and are driving an RV stop on by, I’ll fill you up for free.
