Scrapped paint, adjusted hood so that it can be opened without so much effort. it was a little too close to the cowl. Pondered on replacement of rt. front inner axle seal. Can hardly wait. And have been studying on the CTIS to figure out why rt. rear tire, keeps running out of air. Yes I have 5 lights flashing so need to figure out where it is going.

Good one no only one but she is the 2nd thank god she found me ! And loves driving the 5 ton makes all the local gasser 4x4 boys jealous when she shows up. Plus it helps she drives an Oshkosh T-3000 and Striker 3000 for a living.

Installed my mrap mirrors, fender antenna mount, and my bedside antenna mount with offset bracket. I sell the offset antenna mount kit in the classifieds if anyone is interested. Went to car show and took home first place out of three in the military class. It was a good day.

I used my M62A1 and M103 genset trailer(converted to haul my air compressor,welder, and tool box) to remove,clean, and re seal the final drive on a John Deere 450 AA track loader/backhoe combo.

It would be difficult to do without a wrecker anymore.

Pictures!
