And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I don't think they had a mechanical oil pump until the 1936 Knucklehead. That hand pump was it, and only on certain models. The split tanks had oil in one side that just drained down through the engine and leaked out the bottom. Some had a drain tube over the chain referred to as an automatic chain oiler. Pretty messy. Or I could be senile and full of crap. Eod1sg Ret
What is that thing on the side?
