Be nice if someone restores the Nash before it rots away.
Honorary Life Member of the Pungo Posse. Badge #1. An honor bestowed by the posse. Couldn't be more proud or humbled.

All I did was name it 'n get it started. The posse made it great. A debt I can never repay. Thank you, mi amigos.

The owner had just bought it and that is in the plans.  Sad thing is a lot of them did rust away.

They smoke a bit when they fire up till they get going:



You might notice that a lot of the big steel wheel ones have rubber tread bolted on, this is for when they are in parades on pavement, them big heavy things can sure tear up a street with out them.

Believe them Metropolitans were made in Japan and shipped over. Fenders and stuff still had more steel in them than most of today's cars. that's why it ain't rusted completely away yet. ::)

The car was made in England.  Fisher & Ludlow build the body, Austin built the running gear and did the final assembly.

Well I got egg on ma face.  Closer look shows that ta be an FL panhead.  OHV motor, they came in 61 an 74 inch.  Looks like the guy got a box of parts an put it tagerther with aftermarket stuff ta make it 100%.  Aint nothin wrong with that, them things is gettin scarce.  Either way I do stand corrected.

Learned something new a while back, the first balers were for square bales, but you had to bring the hay/straw to them.  Then for a long time the pull types did round ones.  They had a stationary one running:





The boards are inserted between the balse and then the wire is inserted between the bales:





The hay/straw is forked in and a piston pushes it forward:





And on this cycle, that's when everything went "haywire."

I can remember when I was 10 or so, a friend I'd go to see, his dad had an old baler that they hauled hay to and dumped it in and his dad would sit on the back where the hay was formed and  it took 2 men to pull the wire through and tie the hay,  it went pretty slow but they would sit there all day and tie hay.  wasn't long he started hiring his hay baled, we hauled a lot of it for him.
We done it for Dixie,  nothing else

I didn't really get those pictures, they do most of that on Friday and Sat, they tend to do plowing demos Sat afternoon and Sun.

Should next year, planning on setting up there on Friday down by the summer kitchen.
