60FlatTop Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Silver Ghost, Your last entry sounded great. You might talk with some local High School teachers and find a young mechanic to hire as an after school or weekend helper. They know the kids with energy and who the good ones are.Doing this gives you a mentoring job as well and can be quite rewarding. It also sets a commitment for scheduling and keeps the progress flowing.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cben09 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Hi Brad,,,,no its the Ghost that has the indestructable camel hair lining,,,the later Pierces,,31-33-36 series had a multiplate like Simplex , Loco [and model a] Be careful that the spark is retarded when using the starter,,as a kickback can break the big reduction gear in the starter,,there is a overrunning clutch,and the rollers catch in a bad way if it fires back,This is not a common problem,,,its an angle cut gear so its a fuss to duplicate,,but in use , has a most melodious sound,,Someone should make a tape of the really great sounding starters,, I keep getting stuck on these memories,, Cheers Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poci1957 Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Quite a"Beast" indeed !I think this would be a good deal for BOTH of us at this point !He would at least know Finally what he has here~~~It might also help him decide which way to go on a possible future restoration~~~If I owned this Series 36~~~It would be a Driver-Survivor!What do all my Fellow Forum Member Friends think about this Idea ?I think this sounds like great idea and hope that it happens. You would be doing him a huge favor and benefit yourself for having an outlet for a little positive energy. Good luck, Todd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
