srcarr - yes, each zone has 3 loops and each one has in individual valve to open and close, plus flow control valves on the return side.

Chris - when I visited the Museum of American Speed in Lincoln, NE last year I saw several McCulloch supercharges on display. Even junk ones seem to be $1,500 +.

Most NORMAL people use "GOLF CARTS" to go from Point A to Point B..
I guess the ole' addage still applies "If Ya Got It FLAUNT IT"

 

[Junk Meister]

for the go cart?

Maybe take the Cart for a Spin on That new FLOOR before Shelves get in the way and CARToGRAPH (Autograph) it with some FISH HOOKS&COOKIES.

so...which saw does this go on?

Well I have a few spare Whitehead and Root frames it could go in.

Standards for the shelving are going in up front in the display area. A friend in town is busy putting the shelves together from 3/4" plywood and poplar. The boxes are the chrome wire shelving units that will cover the floor in the display area.

There is a local fellow (Cedar Falls, IA) that does a lot of kart restorations. Some while back I rebuild some carburetors for him and I had the finished engine in the display for some time.

He'd found a suitable kart for the engine (1962 McCulloch) and put it together. When someone wanted to buy the engine he was reluctant to separate the engine from the kart so he made me and offer I couldn't refuse and I've added it to the collection. Once I can start moving stuff into the new building, I will rearrange things in the original building (the "McCulloch Building") and add the kart in there.

I know I wouldn't be able to resist firing up that kart and spinning some donuts on that super clean floor!

Depends on how soft those tires are.

I have about 75% of the shelves painted and up in the display area. Those on the far wall have not been painted yet, that will be a task for Monday/Tuesday. There are several more still under construction.

Yer gonna need more saws…

He has them...you should see the attic

 

[heimannm]

Since we no longer have an Iowa Spring GTG I am planning to have an Open House on 8/9 May for anyone interested in seeing how the things are coming together. I doubt everything will be in order by then but you will get a chance to see it in process. I will have coffee & donuts in the morning and most likely pizza in the afternoon.

I will try to have a test log available if someone must make a cut but there won't be a lot of sawing.

What happened to the Iowa gtg?

 

[heimannm]

The brothers that hosted in the past have run into some issues (not related to the GTG) and have not been able to put it together again.

The last Iowa GTG my son and I went to was probably Fall 2014 or 2015. It was at Hoskeys and was a great time. About noon or so my son got a call that scared the poop out of me. The Sheriff's department said there were cows running down Highway 92. Our cows were the only ones they could be and we were 3 hours away. As it turned out the Sheriff's deputy was talking about 9 miles to the east and they were they belonged to the guy my son worked for.

Shelves are on the walls in the new building. The boxes are the wire frame shelves that will fit in the open area.





I may get some saws moved over next week.
