Here's one such animal that I believed was worth saving. She lingered in a small CT shop for well over a year---not rode hard by any means--but obviously put away damp/improperly stored. Thirty minutes with a Frontier pad erased a bit of that neglect. Came out of the North Haven vicinity and I have a hunch it never left the Nutmeg State. Shipped in Aug. of 1922 so I'm assuming the VR was a later add-on (unless this was one of the early prototypes that cut its teeth making diesel smoke at the Parker Gun Club ) Regardless, the owner knew what he wanted. DHE 32", DT's, Safety-delete, VR, choked .040/.040. Dimensions: 15 1/2 LOP x 1 5/16 x 1 5/16. Craig Libhart took her down to 14 7/8" and re-fit/contoured and plugged the original Silvers. Here are a few before and after pics. God willing, I'll be recommencing diesel smoke production at the Bo-Whoop Challenge in a few short weeks.
