They have discovered the remains of the WWII aircraft carrier Hornet miles below the pacific, I got quite a kick seeing this on the deck!

That is awesome. I have seen that the Hornet was found but haven't had a chance to check out the video or the photos yet.

A good pressure wash and a little Mother's Polish and it should be good to go.
I got an old hit and miss engine out of a Northern Alberta creek. It had been submerged for more than a decade. I took the block section to work and used the company press to push the piston out. I used a machined slug to distribute the load. At just over 10 tonnes the piston made a loud bang and started to move. Only the rings were destroyed. They came out as coarse dust. The engine was a Nelson Brother's Little Jumbo.
I would rather have tools I do not need than to need tools I do not have

That tractor is a Hebard shop mule. W.F. Hebard Company bought Farmall A engines/drivetrains from IH and built these tractors.
