The way I can tell is does it begin the pumping action as soon as the lever is slightly depressed. On the wrong one the pumping action takes place only on a hard compression of the lever. I could also tell if I could look directly at the lever. The correct one has a spring on top of the lever...

We have spoke of this before. From NM to PA and now back to NY. Good trip through life. I am sure it is in a retirement home now. Unless Dougco wants to cut firewood and do some logging with it. HA HA. Doubtful.

I took a few more bites out of the elephant again tonight. I set my leaf springs out and accounted for all the parts. I am going to get new U bolts. I think it is a wise choice. I have all the other hardware and shackles new. What will it hurt to get the 8 new U bolts? Do it right the first time...

It reads both. If you have it stock. If you converted it to 12 volt it will only charge on the edge of the green. Have a Great Day.

Yea Of course it was also easier to find clean rust free trucks 25 years ago. Yea they were 25 years newer. The road chemicals are killing the all the vehicles here in the north east. I never seen trucks/vehicles so rusty in a few years. And it is not brand specific. They all rust bad. And...

I contacted a company a few weeks back that deals in obsolete vehicle parts. He was looking at my new GM sheet metal parts that I have in boxes. This was the E mail he sent me today. These are the Genuine GM parts with part numbers. Line Description Part Number Quantity Extended Price 1 HOOD 2...

Tonight I started Rad Riding Hood and took it up the road. It shifted thru all 3 gears and drove nice for 35 year old tires. I think it could use some fresh diesel fuel. I will have to can fill it. I don't think it is ready for a road trip to the filling station. Have a Great Day. My yard...

I installed the front ball joints. What kind? the kind that fit. They have grease fittings and I had them stashed for many years, They are new and look great. I am waiting to get my transmission and front axle back from getting the inner seals in the front axle and the transmission rebuilt. I am...

Did anyone ever hear or see Scottlady?

Even with no cluster present the voltmeter charges at the correct value/voltage. I mentioned that before. But let one idiot light burn out or be inoperable and you are with out charge. Anyone have an explanation for that? This has 12,672 miles on it.

I am going to let it sit outside for a while and get some air. I will wash it and return it over the weekend.

Just a few pictures of the over all condition.

Today I got the lead out and put the batteries in Little Rad Riding Hood. It glowed and fired right up. I put it in reverse and backed it out of the barn into the barn yard. The chickens ran and the rooster crowed and when the dust cleared there she sat idling away.It still has the original...

I don't give RA about my per hour profit. I wonder if people think of the hours they waste sitting doing nothing, watching TV and ball games? Well this is my TV and the garage work is my ball game. I like to take things that have little value in the present condition and return them to something...

:-DI'm never lonely. I have them things all around me now. 2 doors down, 2 miles north, 3 miles south, And now that my Crown of Thorns is gone. I was left with my Silverado and was out cutting wood from a log jam at the bridge down the road. Just a bit scarier going into the water to get the...

If they do they are SOL. I have the mower up For Sale and it was the only paint I had at the moment. A Camo mower deck would have been stranger. And the yellow/beige that Land Pride sells is expensive. I helped the environment. I repurposed left over paint.

Another day of side tracked jobs. But I was able to get my garage floor open enough to start working on my M1009 frame. Like getting the rear axle in the frame looks like the first thing I will do. I did manage to finish a repaint on my finish mower. Then I was able to access the M1009 frame...

Also the air vents on the kick panel will be disabled and it will still catch air from the bottom of the cab cowl. I would say replacing the heater box flapper door seals is the best bet. Have a Great Day.

That's the dust from about 20 CUCV's being painted and a lot of wood sanding that took place in the barn. I plan on washing it and covering it. It would be nicer when it was completed and rehomed. That is the goal.

From an M1009. Yes I do. Next question. How fast do you need it?
