That looks great Greg. I've been wondering what you have been up to and now I know. That is a beauty!
I don't believe in taking the bull by the horns. I took a goat by the horns once and that was enough excitement for me.

Thanks Bill, I was about to give up on it 
I couldn't get it to run worth a hoot, had an old timer help me out. Here the magnets in the magneto would get warm and lose their magnetism thus losing the spark 
I myself would have NEVER figured that out 
. It would run for about 1 or 2 minutes then would start missing like crazy, and then shut down 
We changed the head of the mag and he runs like a clock Stretch

Nice job Greg. Now you just need some snow to push around with that pretty blade.

Looks AWESOME!! You do great work!Nice that you have the hydraulic feature on your blade so you don't have to hop off the seat so much (like I do).

Very nice. What's the S/N? I have a '48 as well. Maybe I have one off the same line.

Nice job Stretch! It looks great, and I love the hydraulic angle set up, pretty slick.

Greg:
You did a very good job on that restoration, beautiful '48 - just gorgeous You have lots to be proud of. And yeah, you already know what I think of your blade 
Yours is a little earlier than Ellie is not a lot -- but earlier.
