My cutting torch is giveing me the fits, last friday I thought I ran out of Oxygen so tuesday I got new tanks, then I cut for a little bit and it acts as I have very little Acetilene, today I cleand my tip as good as I could, no go, so I put on the heat bud to heat up an exhaust nut on a modelt T manifold and that workd as it should. so I went to town & bought a new niple and tried it and no go so it must be the hand section with the lever?? but what do I do with it? buy new? I never cleaned one...ever.

Once again it's to cold to get any desire to warm up the shop, So am standing still till weather breakes or I get to much house-a-toses lol. Did buy a new KT torch and that fixed the problem and got the motor cart nearly built, sure would like to finish it but both cold & icy out side & i don't do ice well anymore either. Had to strip some parts off the motors I have out side in the 1923 & 17 cars so am about ready to make a trip with the parts and the engine cart to my mechanic just hopeing for warmer weather but may not get it?? I now have a total of 4 old tractors I would like to get my hands on this year if posible? Corse even one would make me happy lol. I think the 34 AC - WC would make the best one, the others I don't know if they would ever actualy run for me but would still like them and who knows just maybe?? LOL. But the model TT truck will get the most attentchen this year I think. Maybe it will run & drive the next spring after this comeing one?? Would like to work on the F14 & H Farmall as well and have them both running well.
Forgot the shooting range plans for the year, Want to get the trap range in & working and build a shooting bench for inside the shop, that will be a plenty for this year on that I think??

Motor almost came home today, but left it to get just a bit more finishing care on exahust manifold & a broken nut holder on the starter. Engine looks nice. Got a deal made for the two TT truck frames but not yet on the 1934 AC - WC But the tractor is not stuck, He said he had to think on it more yet, traslation is he will check with G O to see what he will pay for it. LOL

Pretty quite out in the shop due to the freaking cold weather, Has to be pretty important to heat under 20 or so. Today looks warm but I have not ben out, I don't see melting of any snow. But atleast I am staying more ative this winter thanks to my new shop. This is one thing I was hopeing it would do for me as the last few winters was killing me, not doing anything. Need a new bathroom floor so today I will go to Norfork & menards to order the Tile & stuff.

Got word yesterday that my model T ford motor & transmission is done & ready for pickup, Said he put oil in it & tested the starter & all worked well & that it should run. & by the time I pick it up on saturday He thinks he will have one good carburator for it out of the 4 that I left with him lol. It will have an unusal exhaust manifold on it but it was the only good one I had. It is a special heater manifold to pipe hot air into the cab or car.

With your weather it might be a good idea to have that heat.
