Reo gas engine rebuilt, air brakes, 4 Spd, Weld Built wrecker. Runs like a champ. Got a Marvel Mystery Oil Inversion Oiler with it I'm going to put back on, haven't seen one of those in many years. Lots of guys used to swear by them for increasing engine life, others said " snake oil"

Very nice.  Judging by the picture, looks like its of an earlier age than when White owned   Acar,  Diamond Reo etc.  If so never knew Autocar used Reo gas engines in that era.  Also surprised it had only a 4 speed.  In any case, unique and good looking and looks like you've got some good shop skills!

PT, do you think that T S will ever restore it?

I would hope so since it is one of one, but it has not been touched since at least 2009. It just sits in the front against the fence. We talked about it when I looked at his LJ  that was for sale for one of the BMT members. Lot of history there. I offered my Allis powered A Car for it.  Paul

Hope it does get restored or at least some really good preservation.  Ed seems to stay busy with his sand piles and track.

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

I'm not on L.I. that  much since my wife died but his yard is about a half mile or so from my Suffolk yard.Always used to have some interesting project there. Never saw his B move either.   Paul
