  • I've got to get this van out of the way. It was in bad shape when it arrived many many years ago. I should just tow it, but it would be a lot more fun to drive it. If I can get it going, of course!

    I sure like that massive street lamp on the rear. This is going to be a great parts truck for sure.

    @jackrichards1863 Před rokem +2

    Looks like a special purpose thing? Man I would have suggested unbolting the door on the driver's. Plus when it gave up on moving it looked in my thoughts like you'd lift the front with the digger and back the Oshkosh under it for a jack stand to drop the motor. I might have tried unbolting the calipers ? But during the first movements that left front did turn quite free for a brief quarter turn. I had hope for ya.

    Pay $49 for a control cable for a mower I'm working on or do it the low buck way and cut the cable housing shorter as it was too long anyway and use an aluminum ferrule from a junk bike to crimp on the cable? 🤔 Yeah, the cheap fixed now way. No buck shed.
