Old engine still ran OK, but I had to remove it to repair from frame rot so I went ahead and rebuilt it, hope its good for another 150,000 now

Driven every day and every where!

One with 29,000 actual miles driven some on nice days and one with 94,000 driven on nice days. No winters,no snow and no salt = no rust! Yeah I know thats what they were made for but for these two those days are long gone.
