Engine dolly made out of junk

Well, it's not all junk. My Dad had those wheels saved for a special project. He never found the project, but he passed them on to me before he died. My inheritance..

I just found your videos and I really enjoy seeing someone that thinks and tinkers like I do. There aren't enough people who are creative and who build things themselves. Thanks for posting your videos so others can learn.

Yes it is. Dad worked in a furniture factory, and Mom gave me the pedal that was on an industrial sewing machine they used. I'm thinking it'd make a perfect gas pedal.. This car is made of pieces and parts of my life, things collected and saved for years, and things I've had to seek out and find. The engine was made the year I was born.. This car kind of makes up for all the cars I've had and let go, or almost got finished before some divorce or poverty forced me to part with 'em.

@sibco96 Hey since you like to tinker, could you tell me why I have to pump SO MUCH just to get a little rise of the ram on my cherry picker. I suspect air in system. How do I purge system and refill with oil?
