Must have been in the air, mine stopped as well! Disconnect it at the trans side and spin the cable, you'll need a spotter to see if it's activating the needle. As long as the cable isn't snapped, it should move. As for repair shops, I don't know of any. I'm not saying there are none, I just...

John Deere got in the mix in the late 30's, I'd never run across anything like these. MK I & MK II versions of an armored tractor. MK II This was an interesting snow tractor. Here's the tug And this Cushman and hand cart, owner was in his 80's, and rode in on it.

Friend has a lawn care business on the side lol. I couldn't afford a trailer like that, let alone a truck to pull it! The truck is another buddy's, an '85 king cab squarebody on an '02 2500 chassis.

I know the gentleman selling them was from Iowa as well. It was stuff from his fathers collection as I recall him telling it.

I realized I hadn't posted anything about the MVPA convention last month. I got both of my A1s up there, with the help of some good friends, we also got to do a shakedown run on the truck doing the work. It passed with flying colors. I snagged up a few parts over the three day fun-fest. Got...

Looks great JEB! Love the story as well, adds to the meaning of it all. Enjoy it! 😁

Can't say I've heard of different fenders before, but I've only been in the A1 world for about 10 years. To me, that pre-filter just looks a little oversized. This is an older shot from last year.

Heck, from what I've noticed, finding the ammo racks is the hard part! I got tired of waiting for a spare carrier to show itself, so I just made one lol.

Thank-you! And as for incomplete, I'm trying to get the logistics figured out to take my 52 as well, it's definitely rough, and not complete. Mostly missing the 106! 🤣

Thanks, you'd reconsider that if you were to see it close up 🤣

I'm condensing again lol. The MVPA convention is coming up in a couple of weeks and I'm within an hour, so I'm going one way or the other. That being said, I decided maybe now was a good time to finally get some color laid down on the '53. A couple weeks ago I started the process of tearing...

I sure wish I could muster up the motivation to paint my '53. MVPA convention coming up quick, I'm an hour from Des Moines, and plan on attending. Think that should be enough, but nope, just not there lol! Great job on yours!

Looking forward to it!

If the hooks had been taken off before civvy life, not much of a choice there. And the part about undoing someone else's work....no truer words have been spoke! 🤣 This was what I dealt with! I don't recall if I've posted this pic before, but I couldn't believe how thick it was! They'd made an...

First off, thanks! Secondly, my guess is going to lean towards its wrinkled because of being pulled from the center. As you can see by my picture, it's no longer straight, or even close lol! It's not really rough or cut bad, it's wrinkled from the bowing is all. It does have chew marks on the...

Thanks! I'm getting pretty good at making junk look like garbage! 🤣

Pintle cleaned, painted and installed. Next up, exhaust. Ripped off the CJ appearing system, ordered midpipe and muffler and failed to check the downpipe. It was in good shape with the exception of the missing flange which I completely overlooked. Those of you with keen eyes will see what I...

That looks pretty sharp actually, great job!

Not a half bad idea there, other than making it stick out more, there's no reason it shouldn't work.

Bumperettes are on, lift shackles on and the taillights are no longer yellow! Hammered out some wrinkles and filled some of the extra holes. I have a buddy that will be sending me a pintle hitch soon, so that will wrap up work on the tail once that's on. I can tell there's still a bow to...
