It’s alive!!!!!! Purrs like a kitten. No leaks. fender heater works like a charm. Charges, holding oil pressure between 40-60 psi Coolant circulating good. Clutch is solid. Drives forward and back. Success for the first week. I’m having trouble getting the video to load up. As soon as I can figure it out I’ll show ya proof!

Would the stamping perhaps identify the trucks whereabouts at the time. Anyone recognize the LAD stamp?

Here’s a shot of the LU 4 winch before bottom repairs. And after. Really dirty aluminum case was tricky to TIG up w all the oils in pores but I have solid penetration. Now there’s a solid lug to use. Need to get the middle bore bushing out then rebuild the shoulder inside.

I would have flipped if you said “JB Weld it & send it”! People who said crap like that should be throat punched.

Mighty kind of you sir!! I started padding up the center section today. Coming along nicely.. I think itll be close to 100% functional again.
