We have always used unwashed crusher run#1 limestone but you can get it in granite, slate and in different sizes. Already has stone fines in it and it packs like concrete.
This is the typical ruse used to hijack your info. Don’t be surprised if you pop up as a seller on Facebook or Craigslist of all kinds of desirable items at ridiculously low prices.
3/4" horse stall mats will tear. You can get 1" - 1-1/2" thick 8' wide heavy duty reversible cutting edge for about $250. I've used those on a gravel road successfully.
Miniature Ford 8N - ready to rumble! Last problem solved, Honda GX660 hard to start. Turns out the fuel solenoid was sticking so I bypassed it. Had to add a kill switch to shut it off. Couldn't get the clutch pedal to give me enough travel so I put a hand clutch lever on it for this year...
OK, ready for the new year. New radiator, pivoting hood and a wheelie roller replaces the wheelie plates which acted like an anchor.
Had to move lower radiator fitting as it was too close to the pulley to get the hose on easily.
Mini Me 8N not quite ready for the show and pull this coming weekend. Still searching for a rear axle. Here is it's current condition.

Test fitted Honda V-Twin, drilled frame for motor mounting bolts, lined up pulleys, going to be a good fit.
Waiting for a gas tank, wiring harness and ignition switch to proceed.
Did loosen and grease front axle pivot, it was stiff. Also steering arms were grinding on frame so I relieved some...
OK, small progress. I got 3 rib tires for the front for the "8N" look. Here they are.
I got the engine out, and I found a place to send the brake shoes away to be relined because I couldn't figure out what they were for replacing. I've gotten a 23HP Honda V-Twin ready to paint Red and...
Anyone recognize these parts? I need new brake shoes for it but no clue of what I have or where to get brake shoes for it.
Maybe I can have them relined?
This is the brake on the home built tractor. It is right behind the Model A Trannie and right before the model A rear axle.
It seems like it...
OK, this is what's next. I am building a Mini-Me 8N for my wife. I am starting with a old Power Pup DIY from plans in August 1961 Science & Mechanics I am taking out the 12 -14 HP Craftsman engine rope pull (boy does that thing kick, too old for that, need electric start), replacing it with...
OK, Progress!
Seat belt is on, Weight horn is on, wheelie bars on, headlights on.
Ready to show, run and pull as is. Decals and finishing touches will have to wait until after the CCAEA show in Stockton on August 15-17, 2014.
Awesome Henry V8 302 conversion Starter Problem and fix
No genius here, some say I am just very persistent!!
Here are the pix of the problem and the fix.
Note: I also enlarged the top mounting hole by 1/16" on the starter itself as the starter drive gear was awfully tight to the ring...
Working on an 8N Awesome Henry 302 V8 conversion. Still have not got the motor running. Plan was to start it today but we ran into what we think might be a ringgear problem even though Don at Awesome Henry says this has never caused a problem and all his flywheels are built this way.
