Just a little tad bit, I forgot to add the horn that was originally on. It was all beat to hell it had dents in it in the chrome was all wore off. I wound up giving it to a buddy of mine that asked if he could have it. Not much to report working on the hub right now, scraping coming along slowly.

Popular Post mowerman Posted October 5, 2025 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2025 Paul I am pretty good with fiberglass like anything else it’s very time consuming and you have to work with it a few times to get it figured out and Joey. It’s easy for me to preach to everyone else to get it done. Not so easy for me. especially when I haven’t got any bosses around here 2 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/89/#findComment-583829 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Joey Mack Posted October 5, 2025 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2025 Bob... I like messing with you. I didnt work on the '48 yesterday. My Wife wants me to get the new walls in the laundry room done. So me and a friend are "Getin er done " this weekend. I took 3 days off to get this and a few other "Honey Do's" done. Im still doing wiring for lights and switches on the '48. I will soon put a battery on the truck to test my work. 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/89/#findComment-583833 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post mrsmackpaul Posted October 5, 2025 Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2025 Well done Joey, you know what they say "happy wife hap.........." Oh never mind, there is no such thing as a happy wife, just periods of where "status quo" is less turbulent ha ha ha Looking good Joey Well had my mate Mal and his cook "the diff" around for BBQ Mal inforns me I'm baling hay for him Tuesday night, that's getting ambitious so I best do a pre start, checked the oil and water in the old Inter, some jumper leads and first piston to the top "brrrrrm, burble burble burble" purrs like a kitten, the Nuess motors are one of the best motors ever made, made in Germany in a town called Nuess Open the baler door, close the door, start the PTO, baler runs, some air in the tyres and I announce, "pre season inspection done" Apart from a clean and a good grease I think it's good to go No bad for a 40 year old tractor Hay fever is going great guns this year, sheep are lambing, we have it all going on at the moment And then the house renovations can't be stopped as the kitchen/dinning room has to be done for Christmas and and and, I'm getting exhausted just typing this out, phew Paul 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73081-finally-some-dm-progress/page/89/#findComment-583842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
