Their family was pretty wealthy and the color Films while in very bad shape have beautiful color. I’m working on restoring those right now. I’m amazed at the difference between those fellows in the film and kids today. I can’t remember which despot said it, but it is true that this country will be conquered through our children.

    @tracynation2820 4 месяца назад

    Super. A friend of mine turned a reel mower into the back wheels and motor for his go cart. He removed the cutting blades and just bolted the reel mower to a wood frame, seat, and crude steering wheel made out of a record player turntable. It only went about 10 mph max, but it was fun, and we wore the tires off of it, and a Radio Flyer wagon hitched to it. The funny thing was, the wheels of a reel mower only engage in one direction, (The more you know) to make turning easier, and freewheel in the other direction, which made for a great way to have a differential on a solid axle, and get two wheel drive at the same time, but it means no reverse, and no engine brake. When we got on the steeper hills, both drive wheels would freewheel going forward, and you could easily go super dangerous fast downhill, and full time two wheel drive going forward would get you back up the hill, but learning to drive so you didn't need reverse was interesting, even though one kid could move it fairly easily. 💙 T.E.N.
