|  12:24 08/03/09 What I've done so far:have serviced her fluids and have taken the rest of the sheet metal and fender off.
decided old fenders are too far gone so will order new. nose has hit a tree so needs grill and new front metal.
have had to cute, burn and cbeat out all the old and broken bolt sin the front axle leafs, as well as the fender mount bolts.
brakes ahve been adjusted and cleaned, but will likely get one more adjustment.. steering has been adjusted.
replaced fuel lines and leak off lines, fuel valve and serviced inline injector pump. replaced rad hoses and coolant. swapped in a matched set of front multi rib tires as fronts were different styles and sizes.
hood is off and i'm patching some pinholes in it.
have rebuilt gen and starter.
more pics to follow soon. | | |

| 17:30 08/05/09 more donehad to grind off some weldment that had held on part of a bumper bracket on the front axle leafs, then got the new hood nose installed after tweaking on it some.. had to remove the hose line nipples that are apparently for a newer model's oil cooler.. also had to remove a spacer where the bottom holes mount to the bolster.
got the oil bath air filter installed after tweaking the hood nose brackets, and chasing the threads.
started wire-wheeling and 3m-pad buffing on the folding hood center section. got about two thrids done.. patched some pin holes, still have a few more to do. | | |

| 07:15 08/13/09 minor setbackwhile taking the 3pt quadrant apart for primeing, i noticed the friction disc was broke and crumbled into my hand when prodded a bit.
went ahead and snatched the assy apart this am, should be able to get a new disc at lunch from cnh.. then slap it back together and finish priming tomorrow.
always something....
