delete please. Someone else is going to fix it up

Cab needs replacing (found one for $100). Odo says 17,000 original miles but that's farm miles. It sat about 12 years before I got it. 4 or 5 "mechanics" couldn't get it going (new points and condenser were bad so it had only yellow spark) I got it with bad brakes (master loses all it's fluid) it's hydraulic (firewall) over vacuum hydraulic (underneath) brakes. The dump bed is pto run. It has power steering that works.

345 with a big 2 bbl spd std trans with pto and 2 speed axle.

I haven't run the dump bed and I haven't used the fuel tank (just a 5 gallon can hanging from the grill) it's a great stump puller but now I'm getting ready to possibly sell my cabin so it's loaded with all the parts I had in my fifth wheel and a cherokee.
I dragged the fifth wheel to the road where it was hauled away by a neighbor.



Short engine running vid.


I have oil and what I think is the correct filter to change it (been 5 years of sitting since last time)

I have 6 or so spare tires to go with it.

Bled the brakes (they worked!) and drove it to the scrapyard then to it's new owners place. Only hiccup was running out of gas on hwy 2 with the staters behind me!
