True and I took it out again and even at Thirty Miles an hr it was a blast.. hard to explain until you own one...Monday I swap out fuel filters and see if it picks up some speed..never noticed the trailor either. I am really getting to enjoy it...

I took my goat on the roads of Plymton mass today rumbling around pretending to not enjoy the attention...My goat was definatly in high gear but when I kicked it to forth it seamed to plateau and just panned at thirty...Govenor???It was definatly in High gear two wheel drive...
Thanks Guys ...
I have an old Vietnam guy restoring my my goat and when I brought this up he walked over to another vehicle which had the M-37 battery box and showed it to me stating.." It is not a M-37 Battery box"...I had to agree since he has restored military vehicles for the last twenty years....He said...
I thought it was a street mod from day one. The goat was bought surplus by an electrical power Company in Minnisota and the first thing they did was sand blast the goat, use yellow primer and a red paint. They converted it to 12 volts and I assumed put metal boxes to replace the Resein ones...
I actually think the second square panel was made by some upper echelon maintainance organization. I base most of that on they patched it again with an obvious attemt to seal it to keep its hull integrity. In its life the vehicle did take some serious wacks and most look like they were repaired...
Hey Guys,
I bought a goat from Texas ( From a good guy) and first thing I realise is the wiring system is 12 volts not 24...ok..The I notice the Bateries are incased in metal boxes but when I scrape away the red paint they have green underneith..A unit mod maybe...Then I call someone ordering...
You guys have been major support during my restoration project really. I had a hick-up where I needed a rear differential but that is fixed...here is my goat basking in the sunlight waiting patiantly for it to be installed...
(see attachment)
It came to me bright red with an artic cab...
Cool..Er I think...definatly has a stock number on it..will have to run it tommorrow..For some reason when they guy helping me restore it saw a hose poking from the bed he asked me if it was an old Ambulance trailor...maybe it is..

Whew! After a hard days work I am almost done scraping the foam from that **** trailor. I was side tracked after the third panel when baking at 1pm the guy restoring it..( not my foam scraping stuff) says Hey how bout a cold bud....Boy it and the four more were perfect..Six out of eight are...
Thanks Mike for the great pics. I guess I am short the two fold down seets and will take off the heater hose and store it. I be busy scrapping all the foam out Wenesday. The Guy then helping me restore it will then put it on a trailor on blocks and remove all the wheels so they do a great job...
The foam glued to the rear sides really threw me off. It would not help the goat float but would protect the aluminum bed. I am going to scrap it all off. My understanding is the Goat was owned by a Electric Company up North in like Montana or Minnasota.
I have a real pro restoring it with...
