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.

Different strokes for different folks, of course.. but.. if I'm going to spend that kind of time, I'd prefer it take me out for a dusk patrol..
