Purchased a lot of winch parts, parts are new and never mounted but have seen some obvious storage handling. They arrived today but minus two items, the hollow end of the drive shaft and one of the pto handles. Looks like UPS pulled some funny business and re boxed the items. The original box was beat to **** and the original label was cut off and re taped to a new box. These are the only parts I have so still looking for the other items to make a complete kit. A winch comes in handy here especially in the winter.

Whatever "the bet" was for that box, it sure enough lost. That's no lie.

Mmmm, lucky you, a winch would be great!

Insured/registered the goat Friday, took it out for it's first road run today. Got it up to 45, taking it easy first time out, still running on the old tires for now. Started on the button after sitting idle since last July, took about 1 mile to start pumping oil on the transfer, pretty happy with that. Ran well, never went over 170 degrees, looks like it will be parade ready for Monday. Will add some pictures on Monday.

Finally got to apply the markings to the goat, I tried my best to duplicate the font and location from the original 1970 TM. Also got the wheels painted and put the new tires on.

Painting is the easy part. It's the amazing work that got to it ready to paint which is impressive.

Thanks Tom, Mark. Looks like I may need to get down to AR to get you back on track, while there I'll paint it for you.

Jerhico's and my goat at the recent Weare, NH rally. It was nice to be able to drive and see another goat to compare notes. Both machines were busy transporting people at the rally, trail riding and convoying.

Between the two of you what did you all decide about future projects for the Goats?
