18" x 84" is a heckuva' piece! You got the floor space?

What kind of tooling did you get with it? Anything exotic?

You got a lowboy, or what? How'd you drag it home?

Morning Marv.......

Yes, I have the floor space. I got a bunch of boring bars, cut-off tools, some broches, and large morse taper drill bits. All in all, a nice score!

He has to get it unbolted from the floor and moved to where we can load it. Going to use my buddys 1 ton duely and fifth wheel trailer. Hope to go get it sometime next week!

This thing hasn't been cleaned in 50+ years.......We will stop by my buddy Mike's farm on the way back, and steam the hell out of it before I take it home.

Here's a bad pic of it.......

Got the dash torn apart on the pickup and have to finish getting it put back together today. Replaced all of the instrument cluster lights and ran wires for the transmission temp gauge. It will be nice seeing some of the dash gauges at night without having to use a flashlight.

Going to Detroit Lake on Monday afternoon. Maiden run for the camper and time for the boat to get wet.

I feel for you. I have to take the Plentum out and remove several layers of skin from the back of my hand in order to change 2 of the spark plugs on the Merc Sable.

The carpets need replaced (dog ****, melted crayons, etc...) walls are a mess and need to be patched, two doors need replaced, and a complete new indoor paint job. Nothing we can't handle. I want it done as quickly as possable so I can rent it out the First of Aug.
