It’s time to start pulling this gearbox to pieces to see what’s wrong with the old girl... This 1912 gearbox sure has me stumped as to what the noise was coming from... Time will reveal all for sure as I pull it to pieces.

Tipton was quite the adventure, and it has me all geared up to pull apart Harriet's gearbox and find out what is wrong with it.

I could totally tell there was an issue last time. So let's get stuck in.

What an absolutely epic trip to the United States of America... Meeting Dan and his family sure was a highlight for me and I can’t wait to unwrap all of the amazing parts I have found when they reach New Zealand... God Bless America...

I've been spending a lot of time with Dan, and learning his passion for Hudsons. He's been comfortable enough to let me share with you the amazing treasures he's collected for the last 35-plus years.

All three parts of the American trip are on the channel now. Watch them here: https://www.youtube.com/

Four days, a thousand miles, and over a hundred years worth of aeroplane engines and car parts. I'm so pumped. It's all in, it's all done.

Heading its way to New Zealand, and I can't wait to go down the Rabbit Hole restoring all of these.

The Hispano Suiza H3 engine was equipped with a Stromberg NA-D6 carburettor and boy she is a whopper... One cool fact about this carburettor was that it was designed to work upside down...

Here's hoping that I never need to test that when I strap it to a 1911 Hudson 33 frame and fly down the freeway...

New episode tomorrow.

Everything is in its cradle. It's got its home. They're as safe as I can make them.

Five Hispano-Suiza H-3 aero engines, 300 horsepower each. I'm keeping the hat. God bless America, and let's make some cars.

Saturday's episode has the whole story. Link in bio.

The Hispano Suiza H3 engine was made under licence at the end of WW1 by Wright Aviation. This iteration first saw production in 1918 and produced 325 BHP at 1800 RPM with a whopping near 1,000 foot pounds of torque...

What an absolute monster of an engine...
