Eric big article in Mopar Collector's Guide this month on another Mr. Norm 71GSS.Good Morning All. Woke to thunderstorms this AM. Then the heat gets turned on. 100+ the next couple days. I got my stainless fuel lines, tank, jbolts, ground strap, clips, grommet, etc all last night. The tank is in etching primer now and will have paint on it tonight. Plan is to install tomorrow and try that first drive Saturday morning. Fingers crossed again...
Best wishes to you Mike. I am sure all will go smoothly and without issue. I will be watching for updates...
Speaking of talking to... Any word from Tim? When did he roll out of there? Lotta stuffYup just talked to him.
Eric big article in Mopar Collector's Guide this month on another Mr. Norm 71GSS.
This guy said there are only seven or eight of them.
Might be able to get his number if you'd ever want to talk to him.
Painted and back together. Blades sharpened (I have a cut to prove it)and balanced. Just need the drive belt now and I can get it back on the tractor.

The black and brown ones anyway. Think I got rid of 7 cansAnd cleared the shelf of the "half used" rattle cans Good deal
LOL, love it!
Randy Holden wrote the article and also wrote mine. A really down to earth guy.Thanks Craig. I will see what I can do to read the article and with contacting him. I talked with Jim (??) Rheinhart at MIP, who I got the air cleaner from for my 6 pack set up. He is the one who drove Norm up there and is trying to start a registry. He said I was #14 that he knew of. Not sure if 71 only or also 72. He is supposedly working on a Mr. Norms Museum in Rockford, IL. He bought a old Dodge dealership that will be used.
If you can get his number (just reread what you said) it would be neat to talk to another owner. I am looking for the article to read it now
Now to get fan in and screw on the ring.
The plot sickens...
Rad cap doesent hold pressure.
Seems there is a leak down where cap gasket seals. Went to replace the bung, but the only one i have is cracked. So i will solder the sealing ring into the bottom so cap will seal. Was tempted to epoxy it in, will think about it overnight.
