Well the
WRECKED WRECKER is NO LONGER a WRECKED WRECKER,
I REALLY Need to thank MR. SWISS (Steven), I have NO WAY to thank him enough, because without him the WRECKED WRECKER would still be WRECKED
Have 5 bolts and the lower rad. mounts to tighten in the morning, started up at 1500 this afternoon (hot batteries help with a TWO year restart), everything is about done, new WP sealing ring, replaced gear cover and new seals and wear ring, new belts, straight exhaust, fuel tank has 2 Qt. of sea foam, 1 gal. 2 stroke, 4 oz of weed killer, not going to want to worry about 2+year old fuel. IP is leaking at the input shaft, it did before every time I let the truck sit for a while, then the leak would almost stop with use, so I am taking a wait and hope attitude, I do have the new seals, it is just a pita to pull the ip.
Going to run some coolant system flush tomorrow then refill with coolant and some anti-captivation (sp??) stuff,
Need to switch some tires around, put a almost new on the L/front, speaking of tires, anybody know where I can find
some HCT 1200x20s (pic below) at a good price and TWO wide rims, can be either/or 1400x20 bridge truck rim or 1200x20 246/819 rim, I have no spare at the moment, going to BORROW one of SWISSs rims (to narrow but will do), then have the toe set (I'll have that done at the same shop that does the tire remounting )
Have 2 years of leaves and acorns to clean off the truck, a pile of crap that has COLLECTED on the rear of the truck, am not going to wash the 819, going to leave the mold, ect. (good camo for parking in the trees at the rally.
Then a test run to test brakes and to loosen things up, get seals warmed and working, then have some rally prep to do
Again THANK YOU STEVEN
