Just woke up. Have Meet the Press on here too. So the hot topic is Trump not wearing a mask. LOL If I was him (or anyone in a power position)I would say anyone getting within 20ft of me wears a mask, so I don't have to. problem solved. Not like he is going to speak on camera with it on anyway. I don't think him or any other leader of any party is standing in line at the grocery store...

You haven’t lived till you get stuck driving a old Detroit! I wore ear plugs in the cab! Run RPMs right up till you think she is gonna grenade and shift. No clutch required.There was just something about those screamin' Detroit 2 strokes haulin' *** and movin' dirt

Buddy has a skidder with a Detriot. Angry and rough. as it should be.
Love the sound of those old 2 cycle Detroits! They really rev when they suck oil and run away.
Buddy’s intake has an air cutoff flapper. First winter he had it, was bouncing around, and flapper closed.
Had no idea it was there. took him a while to figure it out.
I see them all.....

The Emergency Kill on one of our truck cranes got pulled mysteriously. I do my morning walk around jump in hit the starter button and nuthin' but crankin' and wee little wisps of black smoke
. I was just an apprentice but had some history with Detroits. Checked the kill switch normal, open up the hood again, sure as life the flapper had tripped to the OFF position. The spring on that flapper is pretty stout and no leverage on that little cam The carpenters were a little upset with me after we rolled up 15 minutes late 
In the Navy, they use an NC8 starting unit, to start aircraft. Or at least they used to. Powered by 2 stroke Detroits. When a blower seal leaks, they run away on crankcase oil, till they explode! Rule, if it starts to run away, get it away from the birds!!!! Saw one blow, it is impressive how high they will rev till they let go!
Hey, Matt is in the house!!

What do you call a guy with no arms and legs outside your front door???
