speaking for the B M T crew ; we are holding our breath waiting for update to be informed You/ Zina and puppies made it back safe to homeland.

side rail ??

long as the work stays enjoyable and not burdensome ; NO cure Insite, THANKFULLY , after one done always hope to seek another. pretty paint but as always mechanically sound and safe .

And You call this "A little update !!! come over here and run this country for just a little update. bet You can straighten out a heck of a lot with just "a little updating "". your work is amazing and more then just a little.

not knowing why it sat for year and a half OR WHY it has been started NOW :: my personal recommendation is to slightly tap it while running to see if it corrects itself. this unit going into service ??? THEN put $$$ into it. put new governor and misc. $$ into so it can sit another year is like a government operation .

add on Beard ; both Allen and Brother , Dalling ; so many more just in CT>

When B models ruled new England !! another forgotten name === B& D ;;; Schiavi/ Hession/ Ovesney (still today) LL many others,

my personal preference is the trike ; never rode/ drove a motor cycle. long story not today though,

why are YOU putting floor cleaner on YOUR rear end ???

this is too new for me teacher ; question I have is : does this have any relationship to the dynatard? stepping light pressure should disconnect the engine brake ??NO? does this happen if engine brake switch is off?? wouldn't be a bad shorted out solenoid , depressing pedal should cut engine brake.. chafed wire some where's along clutch linkage path ??

unfortunately today I did not take a video of a '70's Terex loader with front flat tire being unloaded from a triaxle low bed using another large loader. and Barnum Bailey thought they had a circus act . owners says to me :" got another project for you "! gee thanks I need some more. 4 cyl Detroit . stop cable broke ' they've been shutting it off with emergency stop !!!WTF you can't do that you will suck in the dam seals. don't you understand why it is called an EMERGENCY shut off .

Have a safe trip. I worked all day at the farm in Woodbury today : But you could have brought the puppies to cheshire to let them walk around. you were welcome to keys of this house also.

If you still need to move(trailer)it , then leave some sort of guarantee for controlled stopping. whether drive train/ parking brake system. DO NOT rely on a couple of 4x4's behind wheels for stopping. a truck or any motor vehicle rolling off trailer can jump over 4x4's. that statement based on experience.

can't enlarge picture enough for these bad eyes to see ;BUT that has to be Red Coach : front grill guard says Service ??? hope You hurry and comprise a Book. So many forgotten fleets just from new England (CT) gone and forgotten .not even counting "the little guys " .

back in the day practice was every chance that came about. back when body was in much better shape ; I could shift a duplex twin stick 3rd hi to 4th lo with one hand. reach part way down the shift levers , thumb on main =up to right (4th) ; small finger on aux = straight up (low). the fun days

and to think if she didn't bite the apple from the tree of knowledge ; she may have climbed out of the DM wearing only a fig leave. ( got back on track) LOL

always the number one priority ::SAFETY !!! start removing drive shaft(shafts) caging brakes ;; you are loosing parking ability. keep couple 4x4's or what ever to block the wheels. don't want to be under it removing driveshaft and have your legs/ foot run over.

need anything call me. there's plenty of room in this yard in cheshire for puppies to roam and crap. better then sitting in hotel room.

What hospital is he at ?? Yale ?

might not have been noticeable if it was a complete transmission swap.it was a take two and make one, original front half was coupled to "newly found " transmission back half/ also remember this was a midnight "undercover " mission . back in the day a ten speed was a ten speed. fact the broken ten was from over the road tractor while the " newly acquired " may have been from a B model dump truck.

If he/ they were so concerned the party could have been skipped . might have gotten me at least a hr sleep between jobs, and not as many trips from backhoe controls to jumping on back of the F model to install the transmission.

I bet Adam could have done quite well = didn't need Eve so fast to help screw things up. she's the one who "provided the apple ", LOL

more important = thanks for update. not sure why you still had a problem if trailer was disconnected. if by chance there is a next time try hooking a different trailer also.

only time I ever got to notice differences in "over/ double over transmission ratios was when repairing a two stick duplex . was from a cab over F model which driver missed a shift going up steep hill pulling load of water. shattered the back half and of course the truck had to be running next day, owner located(stole) a 10 speed from a contractor near by. while bosses/wife's went to a party left me in garage using a john deere backhoe for crane removed broken 10 speed = swapped back halves -reinstalled transmission which took till am next morning ,left there went right to full time job, only to hear from driver "it doesn't shift right . big difference in ratios" well next time steal a different Transmisson .
