Cazenovia, NY Franklin show near Syracuse? I’m told it is the
largest as Franklins were built in Syracuse. If so, stop by
as we live only a few miles away.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">1 - 1926 Franklin Series 11A Sedan. I
bought it “fully restored” and it seemed like it was, but
alas the main bearings in the engine weren’t touched, and so
the original 90+ years old babbit main bearings were broken
in to pieces. So I need to get the engine out and off to a
guy in upstate New York who has been doing Franklin bearings
for years. The block is aluminium, as are the connecting
rods, so it’s not something that “any old babbit shop” can
handle. This is when I was still driving it, oblivious to
the bearing problems, about to head off the 35 miles to a
car show at the Gilmore Car Museum.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">2 - The second is a 1931 Series 15 153
Deluxe Coupe. It came from Oregon - a guy there had been
working on restoring it for 10 years, and passed away before
it was finished. He’d done the chassis, running gear, paint
work and almost all of the chrome, but it needs a complete
new wiring harness, upholstery, brake lines and a whole
bunch of little stuff to finish it off. This picture is
delivery day - a day in January 2020 with Michigan snow on
the ground. It was about 30°F that day, and I had to wash it
when it arrived to get the salt spray off it that had leaked
into the guy’s trailer that brought it from Oregon to
Michigan. That was a cold washing!<o:p></o:p></p>

And there’s the problem I currently have…<br>
Just before Christmas I had a surgery to remove a
possibly, but turned out it wasn’t cancerous
kidney. After that I was on a restricted activity
regime for almost 7 weeks - including not lifting
anything more than 10lbs.<br>
So I only went out to my shop a couple of times -
each time I had to have my wife lift up the big
overhead door so I could get my 1949 Cub out to
clear some of the West Michigan snow off my
driveway, then she had to come pull the door down
again.<br>
Anyway, after getting clearance from the surgeon
yesterday to resume normal activity I went out to
get my lawn tractor and snow blower going to do a
better job on the drive, and couldn’t find the
battery charger it turned out I needed, then when
done, couldn’t find either of the TWO hearth
brushes I have to clean the snow off the tractor
before putting it away. <br>
I shudder to think what will happen when I get to
start working on my 2 Franklin cars in the new
workshop any day now.<br>
A mind is a terrible thing to lose LOL<br>
