That's pretty cool. I'll have to pay more attention at fairs now.

They are easy to spot if you know what to listen for.... That B engine has a certain sound like no other when the governor kicks it up a notch.

Good judgment comes from experience. Experience comes from bad judgment.
From listening comes wisdom and from speaking comes repentance.
Wise men learn more from fools than fools from the wise.

They are dang near bullet-proof and easy to fix. I don't know what the gas consumption is on a ferris wheel, but my '48C will brush hog about 14 acres on about 8 gallons of fuel. Until I got this tractor, I never thought I could sit on an Allis too long!
