Bill Deptowicz bought two mufflers for the Park engine and turned flanges on two 1/4" plates on the lathe, drilled and tapped them with pipe thread for 3/4" and on the one added a reducer pipe fitting from 1" to 3/4" pipe. |
 |
 |
Behind the mufflers is a piece of used 3" dia. stainless steel exhaust pipe 18" lg. I put the "cap" plates with the mufflers mounted on them in the 3" pipe and welded them on and the "muffler" is ready to mount on the engine. |

Frank Foti gave East Wind a degreasing and is wiping her down. Since Frank had the lift in use we had to wait till he brought it back so we could move the GP38, that is on the other side of the Park engine, off the table. |
