Bushhog Papa,
If the 226 we had on a '48 B had ever caught on fire, I am not sure I would have tried too hard to put it out. At the ages of 10-14, it was my job to grease the 226 and B before the school bus came with a grease gun that connected a cold five gallon grease pail to the pistol grip head with a 6-8 foot hose. Too greasy and dirty to take into the house at night and a real bear to use on a cold morning. I don't remember how many grease zerks the 226 had, but it was way too many. When dad traded it for a nice used 227 with bank lube, I thought we had really hit the peak of modern engineering. It was a whole lot quicker and easier to fill and stroke the bank lube plungers
on the 227.
