like the motors we have in some of our built steigers

[beachbum_jon]

^^ built steigers?..explain

[Parker]

ummm... well, its more of an in person experience... we have two built steigers both from 65ish i believe and we have a home made tractor we call the valey bee, built in about 64... the steiger brothers got their design for their cab from us back in the mid 60's... all three tractor house a 12cyl 2 stroke detroits.. over the factory 8cyl.... i believe thet are 2 are from generators used in some coal mine, and one is from some sort of naval military ship... the Valley Bee used to be entered in pulling contests, and it never lost a pull.... they used over 1200lbs of welding rod on the Valley Bee, and the front of the tractor is made from the steel of an old bank vault, the old Glyndon bank.... umm .. Questions?

[beachbum_jon]
