I had to pass on one at the Tulsa Municipal auction a several of years ago, it had a blown engine and went for nothing! That was before I had my tractor or 936. I still regret it!
I haven't given up on the one hold out hub. Tomorrow I am going to put a torch to the screws with the Kroil on them to see if I can dry them up for the hammer job to work!
I was dreading replacing the wheel cylinders on my 6217 Maint. truck after hearing all the horror stories about the three hub screws on each wheel! So I did a little research on screw removal, and found a old mechanic video on screw removal. He said use a large flat punch and good sized hammer...
Go to Kano Labs web site and order a can of Kroil Oil, best $16 you will ever spend. Give the lugs a shot wait an hour and your kids/grand kids can take them off!

A couple of years ago GL had a 936 boom up for bid, I put a $100 on it and forgot about the bid, a few days later I won! When I showed up in OKC to pick it up it had two new lift cylinders packed inside the boom! Never know what you will get, well most of the time the shaft but sometimes not!

We have "Doc" the B29 out of Dallas showing up for rides on the first weekend in September, at the Arkansas Air and Military Museum, at Drake Field in Fayetteville! Just found out last week so we are going to have to hustle to get the MKT ready for a hot lunch for all and a little welcome...
All:
I have replaced all my rain flys and am having the old vinyl resewn, it is in good shape the thread gave up! My rubber cord is also broken in a couple of places, anyone know of a good source for replacement? I am not even sure what the cord is called so I can look for it?

Used mine at a couple of events associated with our local air and military museum, served about 600 meals and had a great time! And the museum made some cash!
