My Jubilee fired right up yesterday. It had been two months since I last started her up and let her run about 15 minutes to get everything all warm and cozy.
Yesterday I opened the fuel valve, put the key in, got up on her, moved the shift lever to neutral, pulled out the choke, adjusted the throttle, and barely touched the starter and she roared to life. Oil pressure went to full, amp meter just right and she sounded awful good. Backed her out of the garage and greesed the fittings while she purred away.
Looks like I may get to have an hour or two on her next weekend hogging in the back 40 (it really is 40 acres). Sitting on her again with the vibes, the smells and sounds. Food for the soul.

About once a week or so I start my Ford 661 just to hear it idle...SWEEEEET. When my friends come over I make them listen to it to. My old girl of 27yrs drug her first log the other day with my TO-20. She was in to the governor and was using the brakes to steer. She turns her head to me and says "This thing is a BAD A**" I love that old girl too.

Rickstir,

Congrats on your Jubilee. I wish I had a digital camera. If I did, I'd post a picture of my wife. We've been married for almost 43 years, and I sure do love this old girl!

LOL,

Tom in TN

I just got back in from my first ride on Lazarus ("44 Case SC) of the year. Even though it"s cold and wet, it felt good to get him a little exercise. Had a little bonus of two deer coming out of my neighbor"s driveway and crossing in front of us.
I would have had him out sooner but I had to wait for a big snow drift to melt.
