    Ron;
    Welcome to the list. I take it that Salem and Brooks are in Oregon? 
Seems you have a couple of close neighbors with a lot of common interest.
    Tell us about your LA? I have a 1948 model I restored 9 years ago and 
attend several shows, mainly in Ohio and Indiana. Rebuilt the engine last 
winter with a 4 7/8 sleeve set and propane head. Figure about 85 horsepower 
now. Lots of good resources on this list and many welcome to help with any 
problems or questions.

                Gene Dotson.. De Graff, Ohio
