It was seven yesterday when I started the two in the lot. They are both fresh rebuilds and did not make ten revolutions. No ether or heater or flame heater used, just the red button and 31 1000amp betteries.

Hundy sells nice stuff, been wanting a five ton...go ahead... make me drool!

Try Rex Russell, Mentor Kansas, if anybody around would know about old Cats and where you might find parts, Rex would be your man. If you are into antique Cats, you will enjoy talking to him. Glen

I thought about pulling the strap or chain tight, then jumping out for a quick photo, but felt like it might be even more embarrassing for the driver. I pulled a stuck 4x4 out of the yard today and another semi this morning. He was beat before he tried to leave. The trailer tires were frozen...

Thanks, I probably should have used 1st high, they are very close anyway.

As I was pulling into the lot this morning, there was a tractor stuck, trying to get up on the roadway. A few minutes later, he was on the way. The deuce never sweated a bit getting him moving. Then one of the guys buried a Manitou Forklift, it was a helpless critter in the loose sand and...

I am lost, been messing with 4x4 vehicles most of my life, well, since 1968 anyway. All the locking hub does is disengage the axle from the front wheel. I do not understand how a minimal load of driving the front shaft and axles, but not the wheels would damage the transfer case. Along the same...

I think that is a cheap shot, not trying to start a side war or be ugly. If they have green cards, Kansas Driver's Licenses and SOC cards, I do not see how they are illegal. I wish more of our legal citizens would work that hard at paying their bills, instead of milking our system and letting us...

On a side note and I am not sure how you would ever check or become aware of this.... I was looking at the truck today, actually pulling the alternator and black box, along with some other goodies. Several of the rivets in the frame have popped. The frame does not appear to have rotted at all...

Indy wanted the wheels, I pulled them for him. If he does not take them, I will save them for a future M818 or M813 project. I have been drooling far too long, it is about time to get into the world of the big brother.

:funny: Glen

Indy asked me to grab some photos, maybe seeking closure. It seems like rubbing salt in an open wound to me. These photos are going to show just how rusty that cab was. I pulled into the yard just in time to watch the box hit the crusher a few days ago. He wanted me to pull the wheels for him...

Not sure what that might be, unless somebody was trying to kill a squeak when the pedal passed through the floor.

There a little horizontal lever mounted on the bottom of the dash, normally under the instrument cluster? That would be the air shift, not an absolute deal killer, they worked great for many years on the old sprag system. The air shifts seem pretty trouble free.

That is a nice looking deuce, knee deep in rubber! The price is cheap here for a truck like that, but there are a lot more deuces in your part of the country. The turbo is not that important to me, but I do prefer the air shift transfer case! Titling a truck that age is a pretty simple task here...

That is a very nice looking truck! Welcome from Kansas! Glen

Congrats man! I hope your season's blessing arrives safely, wrapped in warm love and happiness. Might keep Elmo away for a couple of years though, give the kid a fighting chance at normal... Glen

I have a tow bar, but not for sale. That would not stop me from buying a second one though and you could bring it back sometime through. I am sure Troy has to have a couple with his collection!

I did get it fired up, a single #2 set of cables did not transfer enough juice, a second set cranked her right off! Unfortunately, his truck driver must be a flake... no calls. The truck is fine sitting here, has plenty of antifreeze and is in a safe location. If Jason needs to wait until the...
