Alright Jellybean lovers, we need a distraction, let's do something fun....but nothing with balloons. I found a little budget to explore Jellybean more. Head gaskets aren't expensive if that's all it is. I have invented time to take stuff apart and look for problems. We're planning on good...

It's kinda funny you should ask because Demon and I had a phone conversation about Jellybean just the other day. The trucks usually wait around the farm until the right people come along and Jellybean's story isn't over. We know it's heavy. .....HDN heavy lol. Gave it a little tug with a 5 ton...

How bout' a picture and the specs. The little lady read rack setting and she say's it's 36" 25" 36". .......I said it's 0.135 to match my Deuce...... I was right about that and Tampa Bay Lightning winning tonight so....hey twice today :D If I'm taking chances I'd say Tampa wins the Cup......what...

Jellybean's in good company holdin' all her pieces including the seat. There will be a day when those who want to smell the P-4 can do it. Not sure how or when but someone's going to dump a load of cash on this truck and I'll manage the project until it drips water from the cannons. Ideally we...

Grabbing some video is always a good way to remember an old truck before it's gone. What sucks is I didn't come down and grab some video....or get to drive it....or squirt some water. lol. We'll get our Jellybean set up one day and everyone can come up for a squirt, ......meanwhile.

I have the manuals and get a kick out of research so anytime. We started making a needs list but everything can be replicated here, up here, way up here. We're fairly complete with the only repairs needed to the top cannons, front drive shaft, the area in the circle.....and the unknown engine...

Without guys like you we wouldn't have any farm fields left to sow. Imagine the mess the rest of us would have if not for practical end of use decisions. Thanks for doing it. My brother is the other guy that collects and piles and his wife's Dad was even worse. It seems that the in-law was...

Hide those axles, Patracy was hunting years ago. We need at least a head gasket after watching exhaust come out of the radiator over-fill tank. Jellybean was gifted to me before it headed to the scrap yard. It's hiding in a hole to keep the pickers off it and that's the skinny so far.

P4 Preservation It's only been 4 years, where did everybody go? After selecting the storage location for the P4 years ago we had high water tickle her boots so pumps were needed to keep her dry last spring. Not many pics to share trying to keep the wheels straight but we did get Jellybean...

Those are all great ideas so a plan is in the works. The kid came up with an idea to stuff black balloons in the nozzles, tail-pipes and any other holes where a guy wouldn't loose them. Now all I think about is trying to blow one out of the stack. A friend found a bag to store his testosteronsa...

MV's and birds Had to leave the farm for a few weeks and move a friend's Bobcat to the Sunshine Coast. Excavated a few boulders out of his new shop area and headed home after 4 days of hard rain......on the Sunshine Coast. First thing we find when we land at the G749 farm is the P-4 gate...

Weed Treatment I'm still trying to get the whole story on this but I think I blew it this time! When the big red thing, Jellybean the P4 showed up at the G749 farm we put it in it's own field so it wouldn't clash with the green iron. We seeded and fertilized over the past weeks and a few other...

One man's junk Remember all that lumber and metal everyone said you should get rid of?.........Well I picked it up and laid down a quick hockey rink platform for Jellybean and Dumbo. Hope to build a wee rolling roof for the P-4 engine area so we can remove the hood then slide a roof over when...

1693 Cat Head It is very interesting, after reading the info from Demon I remembered that I have removed a head off an engine before. Hope all the skills I learned then pop back soon too.

I appreciate the thought but I bit the kitty and went to Cat. Fort Gary, Acklands, Greggs, Princess Auto and a few other little guys let me down. I got the "not in stock" line from nearly everybody. Now I want to drive it to the mine and show you my new switches. Have you ever pulled the head...

P-4 Parts We noticed the 2 nozzles on the top cannon of our P-4 were broken and it wasn't important at the time. Still not real important because the truck doesn't run yet but I thought I'd ask if you still had the P-4 around? I know a guy that would like those diffs. I wouldn't want to...

P-4 Retirement She won't climb for a while but now at least, we have a plan......and it's better than the last plan because this plan is flexible. First lets have a toast to those guys that work on heavy trucks and love it!!! :beer: You guys are nuts, plain nuts. 3 mechanics spent maybe a...

P-4 Capacities Here they are.

P-4 info Pasted a couple of specs showing capacities. This beast could foam, spray water and excavate dirt. Tank capacity evades me right now but I fit in it so it'll hold more than a two six of Tangle Ridge. Good eyes! It bounced a lot of miles to leave marks like that and since you noticed...

P-4 Pre-Start Somebody must remember doing the painting on our IndianTown Gap PA ARFF OSHKOSH 1975 P-4....Unit 2. Had some new eyes around the truck today and we found this mouth painted inside the front cannon. Whoever did it knew the truck well. Found an interesting symptom today in the...
