Hello David, First and formost, Thanx for the Input! I wanted to say that I nearly rolled off my chair with your visualation of nearly rolling the machine. I don't mean to laught at your expence, but it just tickled me and on a serious note if it's like the one I'm looking into there is no cab inclosure or protection which could have killed You! Glad Ur Here to tell the Tale! As of late I haven't even seen the machine and have only spoken to the fellow by phone. Do you happen to have any photos that you might share with me, Please? I'm told that this machine was retired from the State Hwy. Dept. and they were only made between 1955-1965. This one is a 4cyl. Gas. The fellow says that it has tires are all the same size on it all the way around and the body is Quite rusty, but on a scale from 1-10 and 10 being the hardest, how available are parts to you and do you have any good sources for parts, either New or Used, both for that matter? He also claims it has No Brakes..... . Imagine that compounding your little ride..... . Lol! Please forgive me. Gotta Keep a sence of Humor! I have found a Day without Laughter is a Wasted day. Have you had any driveline issues, engine, trans.,or axles, either front or rear? Is yours full time 4 wheel? I think it's gonna need 4 tires a fuel tank, wheel cylinders, and may be a master cylinder the way the fellow talks, any suggestions for choice location of these parts? Thanx, Rob
