Save you some reading:
"Sherb Graves took the running equipment with him (I think he started another area, farther south), and so Ralph installed a Buick 6 for power. The pulley wheels were the front wheels of Ford Model A?s. The downhill end of the tow was near a large maple tree, which still has a wheel bolted to it. The Buick wasn?t up to the job, and it was retired to the woods across the river in Bristol, where it still sits. Ralph replaced it with a Studebaker V8. I don?t know how long the Studebaker lasted, or what the later engines might have been. The Plymouth Cordage Company made the tow rope."
