Actually we have been tied up with priority missions and haven't really made much progress other than getting the engine mostly back together.

Do I remember you guys swaped it from positive to negative ground? Just a a reminder to check starter,
I can't remember the details but years ago I worked in a garage a customer had a tractor with positive ground and had installed a new starter and it wouldn't start turn over but just made horrible sounds then I noticed the fan was turning backwkards

Just so y'all know we are not holding out on ya let me just update a couple of projects:

The K18 AND the DUKW projects are on indefinite hold as real world priority missions have come about and we just can't make time to play with them.
Looks like both projects will have to wait til the cold weather rolls in later in the year and we are forced inside the shop to work.

Dang shame when you actually have to go about earning the money to work on them ain't it?

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

I have heard many times in counselling.... REALITY SUCKS.

When it impacts a guy's GREEN IRON DISEASE it goes to PERFECT VACUUM ! ! !

Praying for your priority management.

Just curious if we ever figured out who made the K-19's? Was it a company called Royal?

 

[hndrsonj]

I climbed all over this trailer today. It was a 1941 and is very similar to the pictures I saw of the K-19. I am not saying it's one but it has MANY similarities.

 

[nattieleather]

PB has probably already made arrangements to purchase that one and drag it home... That would look nice all done up in OD behind the K-18...just sayin is all.
