I really wouldn’t say I have any real hobbies other than my cars and trucks and now sharing that with the Grandkids.

I do have other interests however and they seem to parallel yours 34_40 “...old engines / machines / tractors.....” I grew up on a small family farm so I guess that is kind of a natural me. Restoring my Granddads and Dads tools last year was kind of a one shot deal and done because they were my Dads and Granddads.

That’s a beautiful little model Z, you did a great job on it. I also suspect the old Miller-Falls will probably see a fair amount of use too (a video would be nice ...hint hint )

That being said, in about 3 weeks I’ll be heading back to Il to visit family and am going to try very hard to acquire my Dads old Waterloo Boy Hit and Miss. Dad acquired and restored back in about 1966 or so, just because he wanted to hear one run again. It hasn’t run in at least 20 years and as I recall dad mentioned the iginitor went out on it. Anyway we’ll see how that goes.
