. Can you imagine the guy (engineer?) talking to the Beet Farmer... Uh, yeah. I'd like to buy a 55 gallon drum of Beet Juice from you. And the farmer thinks the engineer is off his rocker. Wonder how much dirt it takes to grow that many Beets?

. No honey, that trailer has been sitting out back behind the barn for months. It's not new. :cool:

. Definitely for weight. I was just mentioning tractors and the possibility of rusty rims... Beet Juice seems pretty amazing. Makes you wonder who came up with that idea!

. Wow @Lostchain !! That is pretty amazing. I went out to poke around and see what who had to say about Beet Juice - and dang if it isn't exactly what we might need to be using. That stuff is definitely what should be used in Tractor tires... Good down to -35f so it has anti freezing...

. I just can't think of anything to say other than WOW! and then WHY!? The first excavator got stuck. Okay, but how did it get buried that deep in the muck. Then the second excavator is in just as deep. There is nothing like a friend who is willing to help. That is for sure and certain...

. @Third From Texas , Nice information. Explains a lot of weird rust. My question now is tractors... Farm Tractors. A lot of them run water (anti-freeze) in the rear tires for weight. Guessing that would make an expensive rim replacement down the road. No CTIS on them. Sealed system just...

. On an air tank - when you cut it open - then weld it back the coating gets burned off where the welding happens. And then too there is the quality of the weld. On pipelines, those welds are X-Rayed. Thinking out loud, are those little air tanks - the ones that are keeping the 80,000 pounds...

. Really nice brush bar and light bar too! This truck sure is coming together nicely...

. You have definitely been steady at it... This is really going to be an amazing ride when you are finished. Can't wait to see it back from the blasting shop!

. Good reminder @GopherHill Here are the easy version of "Cheat Notes" for the 3 Lever Switch. Brake lights for example DO NOT operate if the lights aren't in the "Service Drive" position texczech . .

. I was rummaging through some old receipts and found where I had bought a pair of or new air tanks. They were aluminum, so it's a different kind of crud rather than rust when they collect "goop". Daily draining really is important when you consider that the air in those tanks are a life and...

. I keep saying it, but WOW! That is really good looking model. You really do great work! The bedroll and saddle bags give it "finish" and character too!

. The TM's (Technical Manuals) are posted here. Free download. TM9-2320-272-24-4 has electrical diagrams with the full truck electrical on page 819. That page is attached below. The turn signal (SignalStat) will generally last forever - but everything out on the back of the truck goes...

. That is really good news!! Percussive Persuasion is a wonderful thing. I wonder if there was a little water in the fluid that caused the sticky situation? The winch is just about the lowest point in the hydraulic system and oil floats on water...

. Nice Work @Spot_ll :) Looking good...

. Wow. Me too... Almost looks like a coating of rust inside the tank - but the bits extracted earlier look like a coating rather than rust scale. Maybe we can get some other opinions. Maybe some fish tank gravel and shake the heck out of it and see what else comes out of at least one tank?

. Yeah! Great minds think alike.

. That looks really great!

. It's an import, but you could get an endoscope attachment for your smart phone that has a light on it. It has a light on the end of it with a camera. App that I have is HD WiFi. I use it in my honeybee boxes when it is really cold outside... I can take a look without disturbing them...

. After about a half dozen times, I skip the steps that use the caging bolt and tapping the brake chamber. Going straight to a nice "love tap" with a 3 # hammer solves the problem for me and my M1088. Obviously chocks are pretty important... Nicely done video too.
