    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    It appears that there are two styles of wiper arms and blades, old-new according to PM magazine and the TM. The old style has a closed style of arm socket and just slides over the wiper motor spline, the new has a open socket and slides over the spline and shaft secured by a 5/16 fine thread...

    Package is on it's way, wish I could make it go faster! Try soaking the stuck one in laquer thinner or acetone and see if the rack will free up, it should just be gummy fuel holding it in place. AMgeneral was able to free his up perhaps you can consult with him.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    I have a pair of NOS end curtains so all set there, and I have a torn cargo cover to make one from if I go that route. Mine has the folding seats installed, I had a spare set but sent them to Mark in Texas. I would love to get a look at that dash mounted radio.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Yes, I have a 28' gooseneck trailer I will be bringing it on. I am missing the carrier antenna mount and carrier cargo cover, I think I have all the other parts. I am in need of tires as well, mine have very good tread but are heavily dry rotted on the sidewalls. My dream parts list is a...

    Looking good so far, ordered the paint yesterday and prepping it now.

    While you are waiting for them to arrive try soaking the stuck one in some type of solvent for a couple of days to see if the rack frees up.

    Fitting the fenders and under tank support, looking good.

    Good news, now is the time to change that cable for sure.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Yes, the clutch release arm broke free and was hitting the pressure plate, a clip that holds it to the ball stud broke, you can see it in my thread above.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Bent up a new center differential vent tube, having 1/4 tubing and fittings on hand is a good idea for a goat owner. Attempted some aluminum welding today, it was hit or miss so I decided I better leave it up to the experts.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    The center differential vent tube was crushed and bent so I grabbed some 1/4 steel tubing and bent one up. If you are a goat owner having these supplies on hand is a must. Attempted some aluminum welding today and decided it is best left up to the experts, did ok but I could tell it was hit or...

    Happy 4th Tom.

    Tom, while I was cleaning out my spare carrier I found a handful of engine cover slats, I think you said you were missing some. A good tig welder could easily replace them.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    The second carrier has a seized differential and a snapped axle shaft as a result I would say of the sudden stop. The articulation joint is wonky as well so I have been using it for parts such as brake drum and hub parts. Got the goat back together pretty much where I started so no real gain...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    It's the camera that makes it look very bright, they are bright by half of what you see, standard bulbs. On another note I found what was wrong with my engine. The clip that I repaired on the clutch fork ball stud broke and allowed the fork arm to hit against the pressure plate bolt heads...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    Installed the solid state directional system today, the original mechanical unit was a little crunched, all lights work and are nice and bright, nice to see the dash all lit up.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    I will check it out, thanks that would save me from pulling the engine.

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    That did but now something is binding my engine up, it will barely turn over and it's making a terrible noise when cranking and cranking slow even with the slave, sounds like the noise is in the front of the engine near the bell housing, it's obvious something is wrong as the engine is...

    Operation "URGENT RESTORATION"

    I took it apart and gave it a good cleaning, actually looked new inside. I didn't bother trying the hand priming, I pulled oil through it with a suction gun and when I test drove it I could see oil pumping through the clear tube.
