. Neat!! If you find it decide that it needs a new home, I would be happy to trade you the horn and parts for money.

. If you ever get your hands on a Magnetic Base drill - you won't ever drill anything "frame related" without one. Yeah, the Milwaukee compact version is a thousand bucks and that is a lot of money but your time has to be worth something. Long ago, I built a version that was just a half inch...

. Well... If you can figure out how to build doors without going broke, there are quite a few folks who need doors for the MK23. That same bunch of people also need tops to keep out the weather as well.

. Well, I guess the happy part is that you found your problem. My opinion is that there isn't any way to reliably repair it. You already know what a PITA is was to take it out. Putting it back won't be any easier. The third time when you are on the side of the road when the epoxy shakes...

. Yes Sir. Same stuff. Here it is in bulk. Picture below: This isn't necessarily the best or worst but it has worked well for me for a lot of years. You can find it easily online with a quick search by name.

. Is that "white fuzzy looking" stuff on the contacts oxidation? If it is, some cleaning and anti-oxidation paste on the connections would help for sure. If you aren't getting good "contact" between the post and the terminal - that will definitely cause performance and reliability problems.

. Obviously you will read more about the missing doors - but I offer you the best of luck with that. Or maybe you can pull out a few thousand bucks (each) out of your wallet. I sure wish somebody would come across the warehouse that has all of the original doors just sitting there waiting to...

. Like @Guruman mentioned, aligning the yolks is the same as "Indexing". I was a little lazy and snagged an image off the web rather than crawling under a truck to take a picture. ANYHOW, picture below is what we are talking about. Align the joints is another way of saying "index your drive...

. Wow!! You got it on "the tube" too! Second "LIKE" too.

. Well then we need to Welcome you and your New-To-You truck to the Outfit! She does look pretty straight and a little sanding and painting should be easy enough? I spy a tiller in the back, so there may be more than trucks to occupy your spare time. Don't hesitate to change the title of your...

. And if you need help, there are several of us that can help you through the process. Your phone will make the video. Do something small (seconds not minutes) the first time.

. I understand how that works! Having confidence that you DO or DON'T need to spend the money is a worthwhile thing too. AutoZone, NAPA (in our area anyhow), Pep Boys, and Advance Auto Parts all do that testing for free. Can't hardly beat the price if you load them up and drive them there.

. I have a M1088. It has 4 batteries in it. 2 @ 12v and 2 @ 24v. That flippin truck couldn't charge it's way out of a wet paper bag until I upgraded the alternator. I DON"T THINK you need to do that, but with the crummy batteries that I had AND the questionable alternator I had - I had...

. What about hydraulics? The M107X and 108X trucks have a side mounted winch that is hydraulic powered. In this case, and electric switch turns on the pump and a second switch powers the cable in and cable out functions. I have seen them in the Classifieds Section.

. Just a slightly better wrench with two more contact points - specifically good for soft brass fittings. Picture below. I looked (maybe he already sold them) but I could have sworn that Castle Bravo had some sets for sale in the Classified Tools For Sale section. There are line wrenches...

. Very Nice and CONGRATULATIONS!!

. Yes and No. There is nothing here (on this site) that will allow you to host a "movin picture". Need to create your movie, then post it on YouTube or some place similar. Then create a link (Copy then Paste the link into a thread here) and all (some?) of us will come clamoring to see it! .

. I definitely like the idea!! I saw it in the parade or sitting by the motel (maybe). I started ogling it when @kendelrio posted his parade pictures. Best part was the idea of attaching it to the front Bow and using a piece of PVC pipe to roll it up when you are finished. Heck of a Plan...

. Grease for sure. I would start with the drive shafts. Push and wiggle them too - searching for "play" in the joints and slip yoke before you hit them with a grease gun... Have you thought about (read about) getting the shafts on your new truck balanced? That is a big deal. Also, cheap and...

. That makes a really nice Hay Hauler!
