“Saturday morning. The sun is out. Off to the Farmer’s Market in Tillamook. It was about half farm stuff and the rest craft things. I got a nice wood block printed T-Shirt. I just don’t have enough of them. And corn and beans and tomatoes and blue berries and black berries and peaches, oh my! It was a whole block of near downtown Tillamook both sides of the street. There was music and ready to eat hot food too.
And a spectacular 1951 Dodge Power Wagon with front and rear engine driven winches. Very brutish looking.
And many single cylinder stationary gasoline engines. The box on the top with the hole in it held water for cooling. A governor would limit the speed by only allowing the engine to fire about once every 15 revolutions. As it started to slow down the governor would allow the intake valve to open and the engine would fire, “chug” and the the flywheel would keep spinning, and what ever it was hooked to kept working. Water pumps were very common. A gallon of gasoline would last almost two days of continuous use.
And a Minneapolis Moline tractor.
This 26′ boat had two 350 hp outboards. There was another of similar size with two 400 hp engines.
