Back brakes are done, lines new up to the halfway point on the frame, oil in the diff looked like old used engine oil so that got changed as well. Carb got a rebuild, new rotor and cap and new exhaust routed up behind the cab.

Truck is registered and insured. All the major work is done. Just a ton of little things to do as I get to them, but it is drivable and usable now.

I see a bicycle got sucked into the vacuum line removal ;-)

Haha. My brothers daughter out grew it so he gave it to me. Fixed a tire and it will fit my daughter next year.

Hope you post a video of it in operation!!!

I’d like to but I don’t have any of those photo sharing sites or whatever it is to make them work on here.

Nice save!

Where did you find the grapple and rotary actuator? I'd like something like that on the backhoe, to pull out logs wedged under my bridge and clearing clogged culvert inlets.

I found the grapple on kijiji. A guy from Ontario brought in a bunch from over seas and was selling them. Cost me $2000cnd for the grapple and rotator delivered right to my brothers shop. It is a farma grapple by the way, so far very impressed with it.
