Amici:
We are reassembling our TORNADO TALISMAN. The body is all done, and the
chassis should be a roller by the end of the day. During the process, we
busted a flange for one of the half shafts, which was all rusted up. We
figured it was a Herald/Spitfire part, which we would have no problem
replacing. But on a lark, because Wisconsin is an Agricultural/Dairy State,
we took it to a local Implement Dealer to see if they could replace it. They
looked it up in their books, and said, "Oh sure! That's off a M/F Silo
Blower. We've got one of those." We've got a brand new one.
Reminds me of when we raced at Shannonville (Canada) and blew a head gasket.
We went to a local implement dealer for a replacement...and GOT one. Not
only that...it was a competition gasket.

I left out part of the second story. That Implement Dealer owned two
MORGANs.
