. Yessir, you still have a long way to go - but darn - it sure is coming together nicely!

. It really amazing what a body can do with a little help. Working out in the yard by yourself - wears a body out! Glad to see that you made some good progress over the holidays!

. Another good option here in North Carolina is Farm Bureau. State Farm is good too. Both write a commercial policy - mostly because of the size of the vehicle, but it won't need to be tagged as a commercial vehicle. Don't be surprised when the first Agent that you talk to says no... Keep...

. Parts "going bad" on the inside is wicked stuff! Glad somebody was able to get you to the hospital quickly. I'v had a few friends with that problem. Basically the Doc cuts you open, pulls out your parts, soaks up the bile and general nastyness, removes the appendix, then dumps your parts...

. Yes sir! That is what that product or something like it was made for. You might find a problem before the oil looks like mud.

. If the truck is blowing bubbles into the coolant, the leak is pretty bad. I'm sure there are other brands - but what about this? (About $10)

. A lot of equipment dealers will give whatever they buy a steam cleaning. Washes off all the evidence of a needed repair though... Smarter folks "Spidey Senses" will get activated on a perfectly clean machine. (Minor Edit: I forgot the word "dealer" in the first line.)

. Wow!! Sharp looking in its finished form! Can't wait to see the inside when you get that finished.

. @Mainsail , Definitely a different generation. Or maybe mom and dad just hand out money these days rather than letting "junior" earn his or her own. Used to be that there were lots of kids that were willing to cut grass, clean gutters, rake leaves, and deal with snow. Snow around here -...

. I dunno... I can't quite see our military or government in general spending the thought it would take to send a used machine to Ukraine. They would rather spend the money for a new (insert NSN here) rather than test and confirm a running model. Different bucket of money...

. If you decide to go with a sheet of aluminum, a local sign shop could cut the door shapes out for you. The trick will be somebody has to draw the shapes for the machine to cut from. AutoCad DXF or whatever other CAD program you might have access to.

. It's hell when you get old... I just can't remember WHO. I have seen several discussions and installations on LMTV's for electric windows, remote start, and electric door locks. I know you don't have one, but I would be willing to bet that you could have those same features for Bertha or...

. Jump on it Third! You know your pooch would love the new digs...

. The sneeze valve that @NDT mentioned will sometimes get stuck partially open. Squatting down there beside the dryer lets you hear it "hissing". Stick the flat palm of your hand over it and often times it will seal itself shut - then start functioning like it should. That isn't a permanent...

. Yeah, but their kit has more parts - and twice as many lights. :cool:

. To avoid duplicates or other TM's that are not released for public consumption, there is an upload spot. A couple of the Admins monitor that thread. One of our guys - @Guyfang - is a regular contributor to that effort. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/forums/tm-upload-section.154/

. Welcome to the Outfit you @Old Geezer ! :cool: Hoping that you found the TM section for Technical Manuals. Looking forward to you posting a few pictures of your newly acquired Green Machine too. Welcome to the group. It sounds like you have a bunch of toys already...

. Good source without having to be a certified SCUBA Diver is the local Paintball shops. SCUBA tanks won't be refilled by the local dive shop if you aren't a card carrying diver. Safety. People are stupid and without training, people tend to die if they have air in a tank and try to play...

. Might even have to run WinXP or even Windows95. :cool: .

. Absolutely!! Bucket of white paint... Wishing you could be having this much fun! :)
