Testing some dormant engines https://youtube.com/shorts/8gc5s_XnXf8?si=Ln0BK3AFG73ZM-EG

I'm sure I'll come across more stuff I need. Thanks

My dad had a gas deuce when I was a kid, still does, rotting away…but anyway, they are my favorite vehicle, I would never be without one.

Really ought to check for good rod bolts…

Have spare winches, engines, etc…guessing need about 3 qts of elbow grease.

Don’t tell that forklift it’s only rated for 6,000 Winch looks much older and seems frozen. PTO Shaft is in the cab.

Shame. ‘71 that got a lot of love in the 90s but the PO windowed the block on both sides.
