After the outcome of the first tractor that went to pieces on you,I would say this is good thing!!

[MPH 12]

Maybe you shouldn't leave any others parked in the shop that need a little TLC, they see one getting it and just fall apart.

Mike, you might need to change your name from MDB to FastMike if you keep this up!!!:Dsm06:O

Mike, You and Jake are invited to my home in East Tennessee so you can finish the back half of my B-1. Obviously, you two are bored and looking for something to do. ;)

So is this one going back together all pretty (like the other AC's) or will it be a workhorse like the 3212-H you just put back together?

[MDB 134]

Thanks for all of the comments:D Shannon, this tractor is going to take some time...no need to change name.. Roy, That sounds like a nice vacation sometime, might just have to think about that.:D Here is another pic. from today, I think we are done tearing down.

Now need to get seals on Monday and start putting the tranny back together.

Mike, just out of curiosity, did that fire truck chassis have that tag axle on the back, or is that somthing you added?

[MDB 134]

Shanon, I added the tag axle, I will try to find a pic. of the fire truck before we took it apart and post it in another thread.:D
