Vintage Michigan 4 - Blade Propeller on 2040-parts.com
Anahuac, Texas, US
Up for bids is a very nice condition polished aluminum 4 blade Michigan propeller. It is marked AMC 661 and I believe manufactured in the 1960's for OMC ( Johnson / Evinrude ) medium horsepower engine's ( 33-55 hp etc ) with 3 /4 in. shaft's. From the face of the prop bushing to the back of prop bushing measures 2 3/4 in. From the front of prop to back ( not bushing ) measures 3 1/8 in. The slot's that are cut from side to side are 5/16 wide. The 3rd opposing slot is 1/4 in. wide. The hole's at the front of the prop bushing are 1/4 in. diameter. It is not marked with the diameter or pitch, but it is a lower pitched prop ( tractor prop ) designed for pulling, not speed. This prop looks nice enough if not used on a vintage outboard, it would make nice wall art.

Tue, 01 Nov 2011New Ford Kuga / Escape Hands-Free Tailgate - Kick to Open The new 2012 Ford Kuga will debut later this month at the Los Angeles Motor Show (alright, strictly speaking it’s the 2013 Ford Escape – but they’re the same) so Ford has decided to tease the Kuga with its clever tailgate trick. Yes, the new Kuga has a tailgate that has a party trick – it opens when you kick it. Yes, we’ve all hard cars that need their doors kicking to shut them (the new Kuga will do that too), but opening with a kick is a bit of a first.

Public service announcement: Cars and shaving don't mix
Mon, 02 May 2011Consider this a cautionary tale: Take care of your personal grooming before you get behind the wheel. A Florida woman caused a two-vehicle wreck because she was shaving her bikini line rather than watching the road when she plowed into the back of a pickup truck at 45 mph. As if texting while driving wasn't perilous enough.
