Tom, oil pump arrived today and is pumping oil, very pleased. Of course now that something is working the starter is now acting up, making a terrible racket when starting, previous start perfect then the racket.

Bring it to the Weare NH rally next month.

Too bad about the tires, any take off winch kits?

Nice haul, were the tires on the carriers any good?

Received a few parts, wiper arm, mirrors, snap studs for the seats and some decals. I already had a hearing decal but looking through the manual I had the wrong one, don't want the goat police pointing that out. Took a M151 jeep fuel sending unit that was not working and turned it into a gama...

Sorry, I just looked at the one in my parts truck, the floor matting was never removed and when I peeled it back lost of crusty rust. Sorry, check with Bob H.

Thanks Tom, yes I have revived many parts from Tom and Mark, without them I would not have a working machine. Gives me great satisfaction and a better appreciation of it knowing where the parts came from and the bit of extra effort rebuilding them. My most recent rebuild was the one wiper arm...

Great news, one less thing to repair.

I had just a few on the rear that were bent, I used a pair of needle nose pliers using a twisting motion on the end of the vane nearest the bend. In effect rolling the end of the vane slightly as when these bend it is stretching the aluminum. They will never be perfect but are closer.

I have a few as well, I will look them over and see what can be done.

Without a picture we are only guessing.

I should have one let me check the condition after work today.

The "pulley" on the front of the engine is used to wrap a rope around to pull start it. Can't comment on the wires.

Started working on the rear de mill damage on the tractor, trial fit of the engine cover. Come along, hydraulic jack, hammer, lumber and sign post all employed to move the metal back where it belongs.

Installed a temp fuel tank today, test drove it down and back on my road, went well and stopped, reverse etc. Having never driven one it seems high geared, you really have to wind it out. Also seems like a lot of steering action, one of those wheel spinner suicide knobs would come in handy...

Good job, engine running is a bonus.

Yes, given the problems others have had in the past I took extra time with them. I replaced the MC and wheel cylinders with new and carefully inspected and replaced the lines. Hope to make a test drive on my road today or tomorrow and see just how well they work.

Finished the brakes today, nice firm pedal right at the top. Installed all the drums then re bled through the access hole, used a Craftsman max access socket/ratchet they are hollow, ran the bleed tube right through the center, worked great. Installed a temporary set of batteries on passenger...

Bled the brakes, took a while to get fluid to all six corners starting with the furthest away from the MC working to the front. No fancy tools, hose in a jar of fluid and brakes strapped to they would not expand, this way I could easily see if there were any leaks. Today I will finish cleaning...

My garage is heated and the only time I would take it out in very cold weather is if I was stuck and needed to be pulled out. Got two brake drums cleaned and ready to go and filled the MC with fluid, have to work overtime tomorrow so the brakes will have to wait for another day.
