excellent process. even with a double take on project. I find myself having doubt later. simple things as lock the door or did I shut the lights ;will become mentally questioned. -
ring gear on flywheel I assume, was the ring gear ground down ? by chance did you match old with new -do a tooth count ? not sure of starter tooth count.

ever so true your statements. life as a four yr old wasn't bad in 1886 for me (yea Joey I know ).LOL the major difference with the new generation VS the 50's-70's group is there was more Family fun; we didn't care about having the newest I phone or what the latest style was based on some TV /music person. simple things like sneaking in a drive in theater stuffed in back trunk! no more drive ins for one. every generation has it's positives also it's negatives. for the most part the generation I grew up even with it's down falls (Viet nam ) wasn't too bad. TV's with rabbit ears and an endless list

I have a long reach grab tool. saves a lot of bending. couple times I've kicked a penny across parking lot till I was next to structure to hold on to and bend down to pick up the penny. driving has become challenging also. at intersections, can't twist enough to check oncoming traffic. screw the "golden years" -
agree ,with above also what FJH stated ,, back in the day the transmission guru at Mack (Al Dixon) took the tri counter shaft transmissions stood them on the nose using large blocks , each section had to be separated. pilot shaft drive gear wouldn't fit through hole. I spent my lunch hr in the machine shop asking many questions.

back in the day of listening to the "teachers of build" .oo8 was too far out for precision, can't explain the mechanical world I was so fortunate to have grown up with: Teachers that knew by experience, Before computers/ AOL . learning from one of the best::: James Cassidy on 318's ;; to build/ start and PERFETLY set a DD 318 . tips of the stacks were blue. SO THANKFUL I AM

as our Grandparents hated rock/roll ; the mechanical world also deals with changes ; not always a positive, between robots/ AOL ;pride (NOT RAINBOW STYLE ) in work is gone. the 866 I got running today could almost bring tears,a feeling most will never experience. so sad
