. Amazing how refreshing it is to stab a zombie in the head! Ahhh. Much better now... :cool:

. Tap Gently! Don't want to break anything... That access panel at the bottom of the door might get your arm and a can of WD with a straw pointed up to the latch. It could help limber up the latch.

. You don't generally do anything with the zeros. That is the responsibility of the local DMV. And, FWIW the zeros are padded ahead of your serial.

. That water looks peaceful with a touch of rain headed your way maybe... I imagine it doesn't take long for it to turn from that to rolling swells. Still, Mother Nature is pretty amazing!

. I don't think it will separate back to clear oil and clear water. My opinion only, but in the 300 gallon tank on the Pengo that I mentioned before, draining that tank would get several gallons of plain water, then lots of milky white AW32 hydraulic fluid all the way to the last drop as it...

. Wow Sharecropper ! That is a really nice deal - and NEW too!

. If it really is water, there aren't many ways that water can get into the system. Running and warm, the hydraulic oil will slowly change color to a milky white when mixed with water. Not like the milky pasty brown like a motor with a blown head gasket. Hydraulic contaminated with water is...

. Kinda like Kleenex, Xerox, Coke, or Jeep. All really are brand names. All have become the thing that people refer to as that "snot paper" or "copying machine" or "caramel colored beverage" or the "four wheel thing to play with in the dirt".

. Why not? The starter on the LMTV won't engage with fully charged 24v batteries IF the 12v batteries are low. In my particular truck, the right front battery (of four) is the one that measures lower than it should be. Seems to be no reasoning to that situation either.

. It will be interesting to hear your opinion on if the shock improved the ride or no?

. You might check in with @cucvrus too. He definitely recommends rebuilding the alternators that you have. Guess you also mentioned "1983 Chevy" when you were looking for NAPA (useless without a number for their computer) part?

. cucvrus I can't tell you what the heck these are, but that tan one in the foreground definitely doesn't have air brakes. Seems like it was built for something pretty darn heavy - because it really has a rack of springs under that axle! The 6 lug wheels might be Bud maybe? It is hard to...

. Jeff, You are 100% right about using a tractor and a trailer to haul a tracked vehicle! How to properly load something on a trailer is a whole new ballgame to most folks and knowing that "the new guy " needs to put some weight on the nose of a trailer being pulled on pintle is something to...

. Thanks for the offer! My days of serving Uncle have been completed. I was commenting and attempting ti help the fella with the problem

. That project just might take a day or two to complete... It sure looks neat though.

. The jack is a "screw type" that you hook onto the a-frame in the front and under the axle in the back. They are pretty decent if you give it a shot of lube every now and again. If it gets stiff, sometimes the thing falls over when trying to get it into position... Makes you say bad words...

. Your truck will have a "peddle" (foot button) above the gas peddle that is where you step on the starter. There is no electric solenoid. It is a manual actuator. Unlike the truck above yours with a start button.

. I bet so... It would be driving me nuts if I were in your position right now!

. Ken, I don't know how much history you can find on the truck, but the red rims might have made it a fire truck at some point in time - or it could have been a truck from RH Boulighy who had a repair facility over in Pensacola, Florida. The little heater box under the dash screams out saying...

. Ken, I can already see that truck in all its glory. The sheetmetal is in amazing condition considering that it has been out in the weather all that time. Already pretty, but she is going to be a beauty for sure...
