First time for everything. I was running new brass through the sizer die, and this one wouldn't go into the shell holder. Major brand name.

It Fidn't Dit

Tuesday Torque: 6 HP IHC Famous
This one has that barn-fresh appearance, and it runs well, too. This is a hit-and-miss, and it is hard to hear over the other engines around it, especially an oilfield Bessemer you can hear chugging regularly. Watch the rocker and the exhaust push rod. You can watch the cam end of the push rod as it comes of the latch to make the engine fire.

Remember The Big Sweetgum In Jerry Clower's Story?
It was probably bigger than this, but this gum is certainly a respectable challenge to climb!
"You couldn't reach around this tree." It's 32" diameter at breast height. See the basal area angle gauge hanging on the bark? Here it is up close, so you can get an idea of the size.
"There wasn't a limb on it, for a while." Now, just imagine pulling off your brogan shoes, hanging your toenails in that bark and climbing up a tree like that. It's a good story, and I like listening to it once in a while. I ran across this big gum the other day and it instantly reminded me of John and the wildcat.

Well, Now You Done Seen The Elephant
If you are ever in little Maunie, Illinois and need entertainment, gazing at the elephant is just about as good as it's going to be. I stopped right on the main road to get my pictures and didn't even block traffic!
