No kidding? You made a nice score there!

If it were "The Price is Right" show I would have guessed $300 each.

But then I guess I wouldn't be "going home with a new Buick".

Started the R&R on my new-to-me heater for the truck. After battling some very light rust I got the heater box disassembled, next step is to sand and paint. The core looks good and seems to hold pressure, although I had to blow a BUNCH of fine shredded material out of it, looked like some wee critter was trying to make a home in there.

Maybe, during your off-season, you should just charge the little guy rent:

- You could ask top dollar what with the built-in exercise wheel.

Nice! I ended up having to buy a new 2nd gear with the holes already drilled in it from Memphis equipment. Couldn't find a machine shop that could drill or mill through mine, it's super hard even with carbide bits.

 

[Ratchetop]

That's probably not a bad idea. If I see any ware on 2nd when I get it apart I'll go ahead and get a new gear but if it looks ok, I have access to a mill and will try to modify it my self. Worst case I have to buy one anyway.

We took ours on a weekend Camping/ATV trip in Wellsville Ohio.

Used it to pick up a wood splitter from a friend and spent the better part of the day splitting from rounds:

It looks like you're on a ridge top there in the woods:

- Ridges? Mountains? in Ohio?

I'll admit ignorance, never visited that beautiful state other than through maps.

But are there actual mountains in Ohio?

 

[Capriceii]

Yes, this is right on the border with West Virgina.

OK dumb new guy question..
What kind of hoist is that? Is it aftermarket or made for the deuce from the military?

Its your standard Habor Freight bed crane but modified to be more useful by the PO. He added some bearings to it to help it pivot under load, as well as put a mount on the bumper for it to help with pulling heads.

Oh, and most importantly...he painted it OD

I have a similar crane that I'm hoping to eliminate the mounting foot and make a tube in the bed to receive it. I'd also like to put a mount on the front bumper for it so I can move things around with the truck and see what I'm doing.

 

[scboolitcaster]

Having the truck bed 4'+ off the ground will be a new experience for sure. Not sure whether I want to weld anything permanent in place though.

Got the ceiling insulated in the shop van.

Wish I had a m109.....I took mine out of the driveway for the first time since I replaced the transmission, clutch, rear main, full interior re-do, and full paint job. Drove good, clutch releases at top of pedal. Think I might need to adjust it some
