Wrecker motor swap

[citizensoldier]

Sounds like a job for a GP medium, wood burning stove, MKT, and some beer.. Can I come? Can I ? Can I ? Have tools will travel..

Just to err on the side of caution, I dug the drain tile coil out from under the ice and snow today and put it in the garage to start thawing out and melting off. If I don't need to bring it, it's not hurting anything being there. If I need to bring it, that at least it will be usable.

Sounds like DH may be planning on doin some cookin.

Bryan, they are actually doing the swap at Stretch's Ranch/Farm/ Green truck breeding area.

Dh and I spoke earlier, sounds like we have a donation from a SS member of some food! Thank you very much (E)! DH has some beef to bring and I will try to hit up Costco before I leave. Crusher said his exhaust duct is in the area of 12ft long with a couple extensions to add.

Thanx for the reply.

If Stretch or someone would permit my son and I to attend this event,
provide some directions/location and a time to show up,
I (we) would love to help out.

Yeah, it sounds like this is gonna be bigger and better than even the recent "Columbus Wrench Rally"

Alrighty Gimp, today (Wednesday) I got you a 20-25' piece of that corrugated pipe cut off, and in the truck for tomorrow. Thursday morning, I'll be leaving early to make my run out through Dayton to pick up Lane's stuff and head up to stretches. I'll have the pipe with me, and I'll bring my extension cords and the lights we talked about with me so you'll have them since you said you were going to be running power and stringing lights Thursday. Then because of the limited space available in the wife's truck, on Friday when I come back up for the weekend, I'll have the heaters and my tools and such.

Anything else I need to bring let me know now. If not, I'll c-ya tomorrow afternoon sometime. You have my number if you have any problems on the way up....since I'll be out in that area anyway.

 

[gimpyrobb]

Nope, sounds good. See you there.

 

[Earth]

Keep us posted! Have fun guys.

 

[citizensoldier]

It had to be done..

 

[Stretch44875]

Speddmon dropped off some lights, cords, and lane's M60 tank engine hoist frames yesterday about 1pm. Gimpy, doghead, and Bgekky arrived about 3 yesterday.

Got the pole barn cleaned out, shoveled some snow out of the way, and the doors closed. Electric, lights, and heat are on. Still need to get an air compressor moved. Started to tear apart the M62 engine for removal.

Leak tested gimpy's 3 radiators and repaired 2 of them. One is being installed in the M108 crane this morning, then it is being moved to the pole barn for the engine swap.

If things go really well, the M62 will run today, we will see. Going to make a short trip to Glens surplus in Shelby, gimpy is buying a fuel tank, and the other guys need to see the place.

Also have 3 ugly dudes sacked out in the living/dining room... Not the prettiest thing to see when ya wake up.

 

[kipman]

Dennis, who snores the most?

 

[citizensoldier]

My guess is doghead although gymp can shake the cab of a GMC pretty good.. Take some video of that crew stretch!

 

[Recovry4x4]

As Motley as this crew may seem, they took time out of their day yesterday to call me on a speaker phone to make sure my wife's family in Haiti were all OK and accounted for. This is just another example of the character of some of the folks on this forum. Guys, thanks for keeping my family in your thoughts and prayers.

 

[citizensoldier]

Are they ok Kenny! I didnt realize your wife was Haitian? For some reason I thought she was cuban ?? Makes no difference to me and I hope all is well.. Is she back home?
