*This machine reminds me of working on my 1930 Model-A.*

How much did you give for it? You should have flashed us the air filter box for the model/part number. Glad you commented on the alternator mount, because the USGS will probably contact you about the seismic waves from it 🙂 And I could hear the muffler rattle here in Montana..

$6250. That seems to be a fair price for them around here. 5/6k pneumatic tired rigs get more money than larger 8k versions. I didn't think about showing the part number. I'll throw that into part 2. LOL on the USGS comment. Stay tuned...we cured the muffler rattle, and it was a two fold thing. I should be able to get into Wyoming before you hear it coming now. ;) ~P
