Working On Something Different
My friend Frank likes British cars. He rebuilt this MG-B around 1990. He shoe horned an "OldsmoBuick" 215 V8 in it and installed a RangeRover transmission. Recently, he was doing maintenance and discovered the steering rack was in bad shape. So, I crawled underneath it, removed and replace the rack. Normally, this only takes about an hour, but the fuel and oil pumps were very close to the rack and made it a little challenging. Took my time and got it installed and even got the steering wheel positioned correctly. It was fun experience but still prefer to work on tractors.

That little 215 came in a lot of configurations, including a turbo with water/menthol injection, back in the day.
The little olds F85 was not a bad car. ---Thanks for the memories. |

I like the "menthol"! Methanol was used with water and some other stuff to prevent preignition. Ah the good ol' days before all of the modern electronics. It is unbelievable how much horsepower could be squeezed from that little block back in 1962.

I'm a bit of a British car fan myself. The Buick 215 is a great swap for an MGB, given its all aluminum construction and light weight. Rover purchased the rights to the engine from GM and it was used in the factory produced MGB V8 and Triumph TR8 (as well as Land Rovers, Rover sedans and other British cars).
Looks like your friend has a fun ride! |

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
