    Been long couple days got 4 drives and 2 new steers (3600$). Swapped them all out. 4.5 year old tires that sat got hard. Two 4 foot tire irons ($89) a piece makes hell difference installing tires vs that fancy tire remover i got....

    Forgot if i put on there before. Clutch linkage is only one i got left to hook up to the tranny. We swapped throttle bar around on the governor housing. Hooked up the broken eye joint on the clutch linkage too. Starts from the key and shuts off from the key now. Have to get some other things for the fuel pressure guage too...

    About to storm. We got the detent spring out of tranny not a fun event. Going to try to put to put the shifter hosing back on when its done raining... going to start a list when i am inside. Not much left Snapchat-1371939019.jpg Snapchat-819159513.jpg Snapchat-493011637.jpg Snapchat-874680664.jpg Snapchat-795026129.jpg Snapchat-984422483.jpg Snapchat-1778692105.jpg Snapchat-1228046267.jpg Snapchat-1534849968.jpg Snapchat-2029262086.jpg

    So got tranny back together, shufter tower in and almost all the lines in for the shifter.

    Had to swap fan hub around to get it right... gotta take off studds to get the fan blade on. Guess i didn't realize you need to have them off to install it. Brain fog..

    Rewired headlights and installed new turn signals.

    Installed sleeper coolant lines, and cab.

    Installed hose for oil pressure and fuel pressure.

    Fuel pressure 70 psi
    Oil pressure start up about 70-75 psi

    Took hour half ride to the peter-rape store got 5/32nd air line fittings. No one seems to carry brass ones anymore. Bought em all out.

    Aren't there a couple of big gang plugs above the window washer tank? Any chance one is a little loose?
