This! I had a customer call up because he had just purchased a Sherman tank. Big $$$. He thought $400 for about 10 manuals (including a two volume 1000 page parts manual) was crazy. I had to ask him how much he paid for the tank. He was a good sport, laughed and bought all the manuals. More importantly for him...no second chances playing with a tank. These systems can hurt you or the machine.
Always a delight to hear from you Jay. I enjoy your comments. Yes...on that getting things right. Many times, I stop and ask myself why I tolerate something that isn't right. There are usually "good" reasons, but man it feels better to be a guy who ditches the excuse and just gets her done! My ongoing shop cleanup.......is going to happen! As for those fording systems...extremely cool...but a mess that I really don't generally want to subject my vehicle to.....I had a friend who took a beautifully refurbed deuce/5ton though a flood and as "fishing" fishes out of the cab along with about 50lbs of sediment. Cheers and thanks for supporting!
They really do. I have a clipboard in my shop now....its the only way for me - keep adding, checking off. As for the frame repairs, we have several videos of this process Ben. I am working hard on getting this content organized better and searchable - will have links for you this week.Thanks for being here!
No sir - actually a Clark product....I have no idea why it was painted grey. We have original factory photos - B&W of course - that show the engine/drivetrain what looks to be grey plus surviving examples. I have seen both a light grey (like a GPW) and something that is much darker and bluer.....We are going to end up like the GPW nuts!😍
