I agree it is very neat. I just got to thinking (you hear the grind?) and I don't remember seeing a team pulling an engine except in old day pictures.
Do you and John plan on taking the setup to any shows this year? Long drive but you're welcome to come to IN.

Mike,

Neat photo! I always wanted to do that with Dad's baby Huber. Can you save it and make it black and white and post it again for us to enjoy?

Thank you,

Jeff Smith
