Toby, that sounds like a plan, but not sure I can keep from going up sooner. You know, kid in a candy store thing. So I know this M170 might not look like much to some of you, but for the New England resident, this thing is a dirty Diamond, not a Diamond in the ruff. It just needs a good cleaning, some de-greasing and a fresh set of clothes and she is ready to go. So I spent the day driving this around in the pasture and making sure it didn't have any surprises for me. Got to say, It runs great, not oil buring or funky smells, clutch seems good, tranny and transfer case shift smooth. Only things I found were the oil filter is dripping onto the alternator and the glass fuel bowl is leaking, Oh and there is no master cylinder, but the parking brake is excellent. Which for these old M170's that usually missing, but the hand brake is complete and functioning nicely. Gvae a few joy rides and then into the barn. Hope to have it disassembled prior to my surgery on the 21st.
And yes, I have to do something about the truck seat and this seat prior to any distant driving.
