Well the EUC finally went through, so last Wednesday my dad and i when to make the pick up. We took a F-350 with a nice heavy flat bed trailer. It took a pull with a forklift to get the 1009 to the trailer then a push and a lift on the back bumper to get the truck onto the trailer.
We had no problems chaining the 1009 down and it was a smooth enough drive north to home. We had to unload in the dark and we had our first problem, one of the ramps on for the back of the trailer disappeared. Well a rail road tie and some stepping stones we had a solid replacement ramp.
I was able to put some time into getting the M1009 running today, and after putting in new battery's in we finally have the power to the lights. I was messing around with the lights and seeing if the starter would crank over, my dad was using the hose to top off the coolant and the radiator. He then started to spray my truck down when he saw "RUNS" in a light chalk that we couldnt see when it wasnt wet. He told me to crank it again, 5 secs after wait light when off truck cranked over and started.![Very Happy :grin: :grin:](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif)
Well now i have to decide what to do.... Any suggestions on what to do...
