I asked him again about it and he says the .22 shell was dropped in a tube and the guy dropped a rod in the tube and tapped it with a hammer....he says it was an air compressor motor and it looked really old...he saw it around 1957 |

I always wondered what those kickstart motors looked like...my Dad mentioned a few times about a washer my Grandma had with a kickstart...he mentioned once about a motor that used a .22 rimfire type of bullet to start it too. |

This is in the high dry climate of CO at 5800 ft.The rust hasn't changed in 50 years.
When I was a lad of 10 my mom had a clothes washer with that kick start engine for power.

Looks like they went out of the way to make it weird. Surely keeps the center of gravity low. |

I like the places you went! Rusty iron is one of my favoorite colors. I believe the tractor is a Kinkade, built in Minneapolis MN (after looking at my garden tractor books). Cool old critter indeed. |
