Pruning With A Power Pole Saw
We are playing catch-up on some of our yard trees, and this tool is wonderful. One tank of fuel will wear you down, but it is much faster and easier than using a hand powered saw.

Tuesday Torque: Have A Look Inside A Sleeve Valve Engine!
Willys was famous for sleeve valve engines, which was pretty neat in an era where most cars needed a valve job regularly. I have always heard that sleeve valve engines ran well, but I have also heard that they tended to trail blue smoke down the road. They would probably work better today with our modern engine oils and tighter manufacturing tolerances, but I don't think it would be good with high compression. The concept is just a curiosity today. Just think; these had to be imagined and then drawn on paper by draftsmen before any parts could be made.
