Tuesday Torque: 7 HP Sears Economy

Sears sold a bunch of Economy engines, so it's hardly an engine show without a few of these.  Boonville is just a stone's throw from Evansville where they were made. The weather was pretty darn cool Saturday, and a hot bowl of bean soup really hit the spot for lunch.

Nice group of engines. I don't think much mechanical gear from today is going to be working a century from now, but that would be a good topic for a discussion.

Jam Nuts. Just one of my many pet peeves. The thin nut goes on first.

David. I did it wrong for years!

Another peeve is the right way to install wire rope clamps.
