Kim decided we needed to go for a car ride through the woods. We ended up at the Drake’s well Museum outside Titusville, Pa… and discovered we’d left the camera at home. But hopefully these cell phone pix are good enough to work from. This machine was invented in 1945, and would be perfect for any oil or mining region.

I have enough projects for the moment, but if you can use one on your pike, don’t let me stop YOU.

Very cool Mik! I picked up a IH grill at a farm toy show that is very similar to that MM grill. I was going to take a 4 cylinder truck motor from a kit and make a power unit out of it, now I think I know what it will be used for :slight_smile:
