Figured I would start a build and documentation thread as this seems to be a pretty rare one.
It was bought by the po 30 or so years ago and used as a farm truck, about a year ago the clutch and brakes went and he couldn't find anyone to work on it. I ended up getting it onto the car hauler using a come along, tow chain, and loads of time.
Plans for it at the moment are:
Get engine running
Replace all wiring
Fix brakes
Fix clutch
Replace old wood
Repaint (probably cat yellow with 4" black lettering)
Rebuild the seat
Add a fire extinguisher
Do some upgrades to the engine, lighting, etc
This is going to be a severely limited budget restore.
Documentation:
Engine is a Wisconsin VG4D governed to 2400 rpm, top speed of the vehicle is around 20mph.
Oil filter seems to be a Mil Std Jr, wix51100 was in stock at oreilly
Plugs are d167, picked up some compatible ones
