As much as I dislike posting utube video’s here, I think this series is entertaining. The guy is refurbishing a prototype Minneapolis Moline that I would have scrapped as being beyond repair. With his methods and procedures and attention to detail, he would have made a decent aviation mechanic. I believe I’ll look for him the next time I go to an antique power show, he is in Minnesota somewhere.
