Got the parts primed today I even primed the engine as most of the paint was gone after cleaning it. I forgot to mention how happy Ol' Rusty was when I rolled it in the shop.:D Its probably been since the assembly line that it's been under a roof!!

Thanks Jeff, I couldnt have said it better myself:wink: David

Sorry, my cutting wheel slipped!! :rolleyes:

Degreased and pressure washed the engine and got some parts sandblasted and ready for paint. I couldnt stand not cleaning and painting something on this truck.:smile:

Ready to cut.

M125 Prime Mover 8-)

Got a little more demo done today. Dropped the front axle, pulled the engine and transmission and seperated the two. Next thing to do is cut up the frame for the test stand I'm going to make and then pull the heads and see what damage I did.

They are the same 45,000#

Yes the thought is very much alive in my head, but only in my head. All it takes is money, something Im short of right now. Thats why Im selling the axles and trannys to Roy at SECO.

Started the demo on the 10 ton with the hurt motor this weekend. This is the truck that I tried to crank and sucked a bunch of oxidized aluminum down into one of the cylinders. I'm going to utilized the frame where the engine sits and make a test stand out of it. Theres alot of good parts to...

No, just making it where I can run it without any priblems for right now, but yes one day this truck is very worthy of a complete restoration. Its about to be a new year and my biggest new year resolution is to finish my M125!!!!!:jumpin:

Yes I've been lucky with what I have so far, except the second M125 I got from Kevin Emdee had a stuck engine, but it came with a brand new engine in the can. The parts for these LeRoi engines are no longer available. Well today i finished taking off the rest of the top of the engine to get down...

Just doing a little top end maintenance on Ol'Rusty. It had been running like a top, and I couldn't leave well enough alone and decided to put some Lucas Fuel Treatment in the tank and it started running like crap. As I said in an earlier thread I never pulled the carburator off the engine so I...

Finally bolted on some parts. Its not much, but still part of the puzzle.

That's a baby truck!! One of mine weigh 33,000.

5 tractors 2 of which are gas and the 2 cargos makes 7 [thumbzup]

Got all the air leaks stopped. Also had to change out the pop off valve. Built up to 120 pounds and brakes work fine, just a little slow to release, so I put about a pint of air tool oil in the system to help it out. So I eased over to the Hess and got some fuel. The dam fuel gauge even works...

Loading it was the easy part they used a crane and picked up the whole truck. Getting it off the trailer at my place was a differant story. I ended up pulling it off the trailer with a 5ton my forklift just didnt have enough ass!!!!!!!
