Wohoo! :jumpin: Thanks alot Willey10!! I can't wait to see if she looks as good on the inside as she does on the outside. Wow, she sure looks good next to your deuce. Just don't get used to it! :razz: :D

In the area of 'etc..?', some of my antique snowcats have hydraulics to adjust their track height. Here are a couple of so-so videos showing the hydraulics in action. I'll see if I can find some under-the-hood pictures tomorrow. These cats have 1200cc VW engines, but I think the sound will give...

Maybe not...

Here's one link to a copy of the -016b/-701a manual... http://igor.chudov.com/manuals/OtherGenerators/MEP-016B/062759.PDF

You're not far from Memphis. I hear there's a pretty big parts dealer there. Here they are... http://memphisequipment.com/ Memphis Equipment Company 766 S. Third St. Memphis, TN 38106 901-774-0600 901-946-1919 info@memphisequipment.com

The story I have is that the private owner (possibly the winner of a govt scrap auction) sent it to a metal scrapper following govt instructions to do so. The scrapper is trying to find a way to not chop it up. Hopefully we'll have the full (and accurate) story in a couple of days.

I'm sure that it's probably just the canon that needs to be 'scrapped'. It may be a couple of days before we get more details.

No video, but how about a quick picture? I didn't try to use the snowcat (nicknamed 'Pumpkin') to pull the deuce up the mountain, just to pull it about a foot forward so that I could release my poorly thought out anti-slip-into-the-gully chain. I wasn't sure the snowcat could handle pulling that...

:funny:

I think it would fit in your garage and they'd have nothing to complain about because they'd never see it. And you have nothing to worry about anyway, because I'm gonna get it if I can!!

I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy... Anyway, he says a scrapper has offered to sell him an M22 Locust that the scrapper is suppose to cut up for the current owner in compliance with govt instructions. The big question is...is it possible to have mandatory scrapping order rescinded...

I hiked up there today to get the truck either up or down. The access road was free of snow and pretty dry. Looked like things were going to work out. First I walked the rest of the way to my camp to get some supplies. On the way back to the truck it began raining and the road instantly turned...

Didn't quite make it up the hill the next day. My deuce-fu is lacking. Got about 1/3 the way up before she started to slip into the gully. If she goes in, I know I can easily back her out, but there may be some scratch and dent issues. Too nice of a truck to let that happen. :sad: Since good...

...to any intermediate stop. Need it moved before this weekend or I'll have to shell out some big bucks to get it off the previous owners property. I have no truck, trailer, or time to do it myself. It weighs 7500lbs, so a uhaul auto trailer rated for 5500ish is out or I'd have rented one and...

So, anyway, the deuce is pretty much home. Still at the bottom of the mountain, but behind a locked gate and awaiting tire chains to complete the final 2 mile crawl uphill in the snow. My butt ached during the first day, but I got used to it by the second. Got tennis elbow trying to drive with...

This truck ran great! Had to take my foot off the pedal a couple of times as the speed crept up to 60mph on the flats. Temp rock solid, oil pressure rock solid, air pressure rock solid, etc. Had to drop to 4th on a couple of the steeper hils. My only real concern was a bit of sponginess to the...

The first day and night I had a lot to deal with, for a deuce newbie at least. My butt sure hurts from the thinly padded seats, but thanks to the air ride feature I didn't bust my tailbone on a couple of potholes. Between that and the rain and traffic, I got worn out pretty quickly and called it...

Because of rain, fogging windows, traffic, and sleep deprivation, I am holding up in Sidney, NY tonight. It's going to be icy in the morning. :-| So far she purrs like a kitten. I've been trying to cruise at an even 50mph on the speedo, but the GPS says I'm actually doing 53. There appears to...

Socorro and Rio Rancho here. :-D
