In Reply to: Dad's Tools... posted by JDNewbie on February 04, 2016 at 17:01:09:
Dad and Grampa always had quite a few tools. Grampa's were always in his trunk of the old Packard, he never had a pickup. He'd come out to the farm from town most everyday. We never had a real shop so we had tools in about 5 different places never knowing where to hunt for them, not a lot different now. My brothers and I would load up a little red wagon with tools and head for the grove to dismantle old machinery that was in the trees. Sometimes we had to cut trees to get our finds home. This was in the late fifties. we would bring this junk back for no purpose just fooling around. Most of the time most of the tools came home too. we talk about it sometimes. we wonder just how many tools are still out there. I have most of all those old tools, so does one of my brothers. I have two big tool boxes of grampa's that I never use but couldn't get rid of them just to many memories. Maybe someday my son will want them or one of the grandsons. I sit here and write this and it chokes me up just thinking about it. Who would think a bunch of old tools could do that.

At any rate we decided that a compression test was in order so we could verify the internal engine status. That way we wouldn't buy any tune up parts until we were sure that the engine was in reasonable mechanical condition. Our tests showed a fictional compression reading of 85, 80, 82 and 86 psi.
