Did you see the the #5 Car, 1909 Buick at the finish there Keith?

I posted about it back in April, but no-one saw my post.

Here is what car #5 looks like, 1909 Buick, speedster, black. Maybe it never even made it to Willits, because I don't think it was there, didn't see it.

Yes I was confused about that one. That is car #30, not the Buick. The oldest car in the race was a 1909 Buick, and I saw a picture of that car on their website it was black, speedster looking and had a long black hood. I thought this car 30 looked like it, only the hood was off. Car #5 Dennis Holland Dieter Kutz 1909 Buick Model 16 Car #30 Jerome Reinan Chris Brungardt 1918 American LaFrance Speedster Car #30 was driven by the Wandering Troubadours of Finland, also they go by the WTF's. Here is the list of cars - The Great Race » 2019 Participants It was a Cadillac - The WTF boys are campaigning a new car for 2019…it’s a 1913 Cadillac, and a charging system gremlin kept it from running properly most of the day on Friday. That bit above about car #30 being an American LaFrance Speedster must have been what they drove last year http://www.greatrace.com/news/great-race-2019-1.html

Home to the Skunk Train. I've never ridden on it. http://www.skunktrain.com/wolf-tree-turn/ This 2 hour round trip will take you from the Willits valley floor to the highest point on our rail line. During this trip you will pass through Tunnel #2 and descend into the redwood-thick Noyo River Canyon – an amazing ecological wonderland, and an excellent opportunity to discover the mighty giants that made Mendocino County famous. The train will stop briefly at Crowley while you enjoy the splendor of one of the oldest and most iconic trees along our route. The Wolf Tree was so named for the large growth off of one side – woodsman called these wolf trees because they choke out smaller trees and underbrush. Passengers are able to get off the train during our stop at Crowley, to better enjoy the views.

The car in the second picture has a lobster painted on it because it is representing the state of Maine. I also included a steam powered pulley used to pull logs in the forest. The first one ever to be used. They would cut the tree, and drag the log some distance to get it to the steam powered sawmill. So why not used a steam powered cable to drag the log?

Link with more pictures. They all drove through the tree, then went up to Eureka to finish the day. http://www.greatrace.com/news/great-race-2019-day-4.html

Looks as though the glovebox has a label on it.

There'd be nothing wrong with shoulder bolts though. Just saying I don't believe they are really needed for locating purposes. In this case the holes in the flange would be sized to fit the shoulder snugly, and the thread would be cut into the holes in the flywheel.

I don't think shoulder bolts are needed here. Flywheels are commonly bolted to crankshafts without shoulder bolts. There is a recess cut into the flywheel that fits over the end of the crankshaft, and that centers the flywheel. And the bolts hold them together, they supply an axial force (compression force along the axis of the crankshaft) but do not help to locate it, just hold it on. I am thinking of the flywheel on my car, but others are like that. I have a shoulder bolt on my starter, it acts like a locating pin, so it precisely locates the starter pinion gear, relative to the flywheel ring gear. In the case of this Humberette, you need the shaft and the flywheel to be concentric and perpendicular. The axis of the shaft and the center axis of the flywheel need to coincide (concentric). The shaft fits through the hole on the flywheel, so this should guarantee it, the concentricity. And if you bolt the flange to the flywheel, the flange fits into the recess in the flywheel, so the face of the flywheel should be perpendicular to the axis of the shaft. So I think you need bolts to hold this tight together, but not shoulder bolts, as other features guarantee the alignment.

Different vintage, but it seemed to do well http://bringatrailer.com/listing/1967-jeep-jeepster-sports-convertible-5/

Flopping the connecting rod assembly over should not change the compression heights; not of either the short or the long one. The maximum "height" for the short rod occurs when the wrist pin, the crankshaft axis, and the pin labeled #12 in the parts diagram all fall on a straight line.

It sounds as if the "poop hitting the fan" might mean a raging success in Aussie-land, which is not what it means here in the U S of A.

1972 Oldsmobile Convertible That might be salable. One of my neighbors has something like that and he seems to enjoy it.

I would like to see more of it, if the show does any follow-up. Or if it gets sold on to someone else.

Great video IMO. This is exactly as I remember it way back when. This is what riding the fire roads and trails is like in Lake County, Northern California. Out of Upper Lake, which means the north end of Clearlake, and around Lake Pillsbury.

We had a lot of fun in those days. Rode on the fire roads, in lake county northern California, around the north side of Clearlake and Lake Pillsbury. Our leader had a Honda XL 175, that had a 250cc top end fitted to it. I had a Honda trail 90, then a '74 Kawasaki KS-125. My cousin Joe had a Honda 70, and a Honda XL-100, even a Honda 50 minibike. The 70 was a minibike too. He liked riding those small thing even though he was was too big for them.
