Meet Mr Rusty's cousin Mr Crusty

[CUCVLOVER]

Time for a new guy in the trash pile lol.

That's why I like my flat bed. The hitch is all tied into the frame, bed, and actual tube is welded and has 2, 1/2in Allen bolts. I have pulled the tractor sled at the pull twice with no issues

Son could not let the HMMWV play on the hill without a playmate. Happy Fathers Day. We are still working and fabricating the bumpers for Mr Crusty. It is still in test mode. It is doing well. A new vacuum pump from Autozone today and replaced all the vacuum hoses. It has a new transmission and now it shifts and drives like it does. Life time warranty. I put this engine in this truck about 6 years ago. It came from a HMMWV. The original engine was lost during submarine duty at Trevorton. UM1028

Today we are installing a rear bumper on Mr Crusty. it is 100 degrees and I am still plugging away at projects. Do or do not. There is NO try. It's a simple task. just get started and stick with it. Slow and steady is better then stopped and waiting any day. I will post a progress report later. Complete with pictures and glossy 8 x 10's and explanations for each picture. Oh Boy can't wait. Remain calm.

This is the progress of today's efforts. It may be HOT but we were smoking on this job. It has the LED tail lamp conversion.

Today's progress. After about 5 hours we are off to the Speedy Mart for the .69 52 OZ drink. I wanted you to see how clean and painted the under side of Mr Crusty is. Just so it does not revert back to the days of Mud Duty.

THAT'S ALL FOLK'S. till we meet again. Have a great day and keep the CUCV'S rolling. Forward that is. Good Luck.

When did you cut the rear fenders on terminus?

Mr Crusty has a nice reupholstered seat. Also I wanted to show you the door seal rubbers that we removed from a Cadillac Sedan Deville at the YOUPULLIT. They fit nice and tight and the tan matches the interior of Mr Crusty. They were free clean and genuine GM. Freebies. Can't beat it. The doors are nice and tight now.

Rick, What type of backhoe/loader was that in your July adventure photos? Are those the replacements for the older Unimog SEE tractor (small emplacement excavators)?

I don't know but it is bad ass. they had several of them. they had some up-fitted with armor. I liked the 2 seats.

Looks like a JCB High Mobility Engineer Excavator, HMEE. Nice!

Mr Crusty is all cleaned up and Son says he is retiring it from the mud whore life. It was all cleaned and painted and we had a few issues that we were unware of during the off road jamboree last week at Rausch Creek.
The front bolt on the inside of the right front housing in the Dana 60 was broken off flush in the housing. After about 2 hours of drilling and heating it came out and the hole was cleaned real well and the threads were tapped and cleaned up and we installed new grade 8 5/8" bolts and a new U bolt. Mr Crusty was cleaned up and parked till next time. It did drive a bit strange on the way home from Rausch Creek. He was towing Terminus M1009.
