I try not to keep up with the hours or the money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rehab = rehabilitation, rebuilding, making it work again.

Took all the seals out of the engine, trans, and transfer to replace with new ones. The seals I couldn't buy, I'm have a local hydraulic shop match them up for me. So today while I'm waiting on that to happen I got everything for the frame blasted, minus the axles. Gotta hurry over the next couple of days and get it all in primer.

do the spring packs get the same paint as the rest?

Your brother looked like he fit in the ten ton catagory. Not many giants left, I'm sure the vibes he left will echo for a long time.

You said it Kenny, I can't wait to see it completed also.
P.S. My back is killing me.

My back hurts just looking at it. That's why I have deuces!

 

[rat4spd]

There's just nothing small about that is there?

 

[mo-mudder]

I'd like to see a pic of a deuce, a 5-ton, and that bo-hwemoth all side by side, just to get an idea. I KNOW you're hiding your source, but where on EARTH are you getting these things? Judging from the going price of deuces and 5-tons, those must be going for 10k, even in rough shape. Not to get personal or anything...
Great progress.

Hope to be done before I'm 50. (I'm 44 now) Ha just kidding. Here are a few more pics. Also thank you Alex, A.K.A, USMC6062, for your expert ex marine safety wire job.
