G mernin everybody. I'm contemplating taking the evening off from the shop tonight and hanging out with the wife. The work day has already started off busy here and me and the boss had planned to throw some darts this morning.

Speaking of which, Lee. You trans problem was more than likely a kinked cooler line I found. I'll fix that today with the other stuff on the list. I'll get back to you on parts I need. I kick myself for letting the wiper transmission and motor go with the parts truck. That would've been perfect for you. I'll play with your wiper motor and see if I can make it run any smoother.

Morning gentlemen, looks like it's going to be a quite day then busy tomorrow right before going to my days off.That's one of the things I want to do if I ever get to build my own shop at the house. A gen-set large enough (KW) to supply power to the house & shop. I don't think a four squirrel Datsun wouldn't have HP to spin an alternator that big...but the thought is still on the wish list when I hit my retirement fund (Powerball)

As far as size, when I worked for Cat I dropped off a 3412 powered generator at a factory one day so the the power company could do some kind of maintenance to their 3-phase feed. This thing sat in a 48' dry box and the radiator filled the entire opening where the doors were at the back. It was impressive to see.

What kind of problem are you having? I'm far from an expert on generators/alternators. But I know a couple of guys that work on gensets used to start USAF birds. Could pass the question their way and see what bounces back.

Ugh. Lee's truck is turning out to be a challenge. I got the door handle working again. Everything else is going to require parts. .......many, many parts.

Well the ice storm up here, struck real close to home. As I was going out to put the Expedition and Ranger up outa the weather, I slipped and fell all the way down my front porch stairs (4 field stone/rock covered big steps) about 7 ft all together.....
Bruised my tailbone, banged my elbow, jammed my neck, back is killing me, shoulder is sprained for sure, and I get to fly to PA in the morning and Iraq on monday GREAT.....
Lots of accidents around the highhways, everyone be careful. Alan I'll call with a location to meet tomorrow, all depends on the road conditions.

You know, I heard all the sirens a couple of hours ago and wondered what in the world was going on. I haven't been out of the camper all day, but noticed it was raining/drizzling earlier. Guess we've got some slick spots up here in Nevada too...excellent! Supposed to go out at 0500 in a 2WD E250, good times in deed!
Hope you feel better soon Rich.
