45 around town for a normally aspirated 1936 tractor engined dead weight isn't bad going!
Yeah, I did find it cheap. Now much to go wrong so long as kept the lube changes frequent (used sump oil was pretty much OK). But I did have most of the tools I ever needed already, so that wasn't really a cost factor.
The 1150's been great. Only at getting on for 40K does it need trunions, which I'll probably get an independent to do for me; it's a real stout workhorse, and a hoot to boot.
