I want to know how they made it look like a bird. Being on a Pig farm, I'm thinking the boys liked to eat and left peanuts in the truck. Hard to say. We do know Piglet the peanut protector didn't see it coming. Rented a 3500-4000 PSI pressure washer and Piglet got a bath. Possibly the first...

Well there it is stuck under the firewall. I wonder why they called it the dimmer switch? Did folks drive around in the 50's with the lights on bright and the only time they'd use the switch....is to dim them?

Ya, sorry boot dat. Canada may have given them the idea. Either that or the target marking folks got the white paint mixed up with the lasers.

You sir, have a great eye for detail! Thank you. I am still digging for details on contracts that went out for G749 service to see what kind of liberty and detail the workshops were given to replace engines. Many 'takeout' engines we found were just painted Grey including brackets and...

Disgusting Piglet gave me a startle. What bird faced creature did we find here? Did not expect a gaping mouth to be looking back when I finally stuck my face in there. The air breather was full of seeds and mouse torpedos so when I stuck my head against the firewall to look in Piglets hole, I...

Piglet gets the shiny motor after a little more clean up. Started doing some firewall prep and Piglet turned disgusting. The oil bath was full of mice remnants. Clean up is going to take more than a Wagner steamer. Disgusting Piglet. The Wagner steamer scrubbed until the water was clean...

I thought the Fort Mac part of this engines story was schpectacular but it just got better. The rebuild tag comes from a shop in Edmonton, of all places. A fella familiar with old things says Gopher painted a lot of engines blue. The schpeculation is, this was an 'after service' rebuild so it...

We started to do a thing. Hungry hungry hungry. Dirty little piglet I can almost smell the paint burning.

There's a Canadian story where the mechanics would leave a key on when someone getting hazed was going to drive the truck. Under the right circumstance the carb float would stick, fuel would pour through the engine into the exhaust....and when the hazee hit the ignition, the muffler would...

Found some interesting yellow paint marks and the rebuild tags off the Piglet power pak transmission. Not sure if the yellow paint was from in service maintenance or someone just got lose with a paint brush but here it is. She's a 65 rebuild from the military. Heard a little tip to take the...

Hey there knucklehead, welcome aboard. Watching gear go out the gate to folks that are capable of lifting 300lb tires into the back of a truck is becoming a pleasure. I was so happy she brought you along. I'll keep the Head hunt options going and get back with some OEM prices. Those tire guys...

Appreciate it Ahab. Defective equipment is a road trip we only hear about from others and don't expect to go through it. I'm just trying to get the manufacturer to warn consumers of the problem. The manufacturer would rather not discuss it. The first S-570 serial number ALM425802 couldn't be...

That's in good shape. You're looking for TM's for the f-55? Started hunting then figured I'd ask. Found quite a few videos but no TM data yet.

With smoke filling the sky, the Valour Park team brave 90° heat on the way to an airshow they may never see. https://coldlakeairshow.com/ Can't believe it's been 5 years since buying a defective S-570 Bobcat and feeding lawyers so much cash it put me out of the MV parade circuit. I'm not on...

I had to find the info. There is some crazy stuff up North. Didn't know this would get done but there it is......done. Not many pics again. Two guys, 4 hours, relaxed, lots of breaks and the Power Plant in Piglet is Pulled. The most time consuming part are the 30 Torus bolts. Found...

After 900 km and 2 baths the Fort Mac power pak pulled in beside Piglet today. Why is it that every part of an engine is designed to throw spray back in your face when you're pressure washing? I ate decades of dirt. Left a decent mess in the truck box too but the Simple Green does a great...

Sure was a worthwhile 11 hour adventure to see the cummins implant first hand. It's got a shift lever. I did not expect a standard transmission. Very cool swap. Mopar man loaded the 302 and trans so I could bring it South for a bath. A big thanks to the Northern man who threw down to keep...

Hey you're new around here! Welcome aboard. Some of these posts are over a decade old and maybe folks moved on. Guys are looking for carb options so grab some pics of what you have set up so far. The 885 linkage is a bit complex with a linkage to the trans. A holley swap might take some...

THE SHOE FITS, the Shoe fits and the Shoe fits. Happy 4th of July folks. For anyone wondering if the 5 ton wheel off a 5 ton cargo truck fits the 5 ton Oshkosh 240 it's a yes. The shoe fit. For anyone wondering what's happening with Jellybean, the shoe fits. I'll let the new owners tell...
