scrawled the following: I added some pics after its trip to the carwash, including the Left side of the engine. http://picasaweb.google.com/gunneras...asolineWelder# Ive posted the infor and a request on the Hobart group and was told it was a Chrysler inline 6. Still dont know the year of manufacture..or even if it can be started...soon. Wow, some hack electrician must have wired up that trailer for ya. snort That block looks like the same one they use for the slant 6, IIRC. Other than the flat head, it could be a newer engine. Hey, did you see that they recalled some Obama Motors Cobalts for steering problems the other day? I'd begun to think that they were running down Toyota to get rid of the competition.

Ayup...got the hack electrician to wire it up for me in the dark with a mini-Mag between his teeth, in Harbor Freights parking lot. Shrug. Id been working since 6am, then drove 3 hours up from LA, had to run around trying to find good used tires and having them changed out, trying to find a ball in my gear that would hold the hitch, etc etc. But I got it home safely. No tickets, no washee. Thats all that counts. Now I got to figure out where to stick it. The back 40 is still flooded..where the mud isnt 4" deep. And will be going out in a few and straightening the jack stand so it will be self supporting. Hey, did you see that they recalled some Obama Motors Cobalts for steering problems the other day? I'd begun to think that they were running down Toyota to get rid of the competition. Guess not. No, I missed that one. Ive not watched TV in over a month...and frankly..havent missed it.

Was it like that when you picked it up, or only after you pulled it with the low-slung hitch? Hey, did you see that they recalled some Obama Motors Cobalts for steering problems the other day?

April will mark my 3rd year without TV. I don't miss it at all. I get movies from Netflix for 1/4 the price of DISH, and they don';t have any commercials, either. Watching a half hour news program on the one station I get here is excruciating. I'm constantly attacking the remote to mute the damned commercials. It's official: half hour news programs consist of 13 minutes of content and 17 minutes of commercials. TV: 500 channels of horrible programming + commercials. -- The blind are not good trailblazers. -- federal judge Frank Easterbrook |

And will be going out in a few and straightening the jack stand so it will be self supporting. I noticed that. Was it like that when you picked it up, or only after you pulled it with the low-slung hitch? It was sitting in a very large mud hole, both tires exploded, with the jack looking exactly as it does. I had to back up to the edge of the mud hole, stomp around in 4" of mud, hook up with a chain to a ball in the upper bumper, pry up the tounge, bolt the chain into a loop and then very gently pull the protesting ******* out of the mud some 30 feet to a dry spot, jack up the toung with my truck jack, then back under it, then back out when I discovered my 2" ball was too big, install a 1 7/8" one, then back up again, hook up, then dig through my truck for a can of lube..not find any..then ultimately stick my fingers down the power steering pump reservior for enough lube to allow the bolt style draw toggle to finally break through the rust I had to wire brush off the draw toggle and tighten up. This after jacking it up, pulling off one wheel, and traveling a meandering 5 miles one way until I finally found a used tire shop that had a unmatched pair of 16:" tires, have one mounted, return and install, then jack up the other side, drive back and have the other one mounted, then return and install the second one. By this time it was dark. The welder is narrow enough that both my tail lights could be seen on either side of it from the rear..but given that law enforcement is on a revenue raising campaign because of reduced tax income....I drove to Harbor Freight on back streets and up alleys and down byways into their parking lot where I picked up some bulbs and whatnot..then dig out a spool of 10ga THHN from truck stock and get enough lighting functioning to drive the 34 miles to my home. Hey, did you see that they recalled some Obama Motors Cobalts for steering problems the other day? I'd begun to think that they were running down Toyota to get rid of the competition. Guess not.

TV: 500 channels of horrible programming + commercials. I gave my converter box in my LA trailer to my wife for her bedroom TV as I couldnt put up an external antenna. Now Ive got until this coming Friday to move my RV someplace, or park it in storage and sleep in my truck from now on. Not something to look forwards to, eh? Gunner "First Law of Leftist Debate The more you present a leftist with factual evidence that is counter to his preconceived world view and the more difficult it becomes for him to refute it without losing face the chance of him calling you a racist, bigot, homophobe approaches infinity.
