What's left

Lard is not classified as oil. My Dad told me that my Granddad once used a strip of hog hide as a rod bearing in his tractor motor for the weeks it took for a new bearing to arrive. Man's gotta do what a man's gotta do.

40 years ago I knew an old guy, who had Model T Fords. He said 'his OGs' used to talk about using leather belts for rod bearings when they couldn't acquire or afford replacing the babbit.
