Wes Thanks, Wes. It was pretty ugly -- worse than it appears in the before pics. It had apparently been passed around the military and military vendors. There were property tags from the Cincinnati Ordnance District and Allison Transmissions. The guy I bought it from was a rigger who picked it up at the Watervliet Arsenal. He had it in an unheated garage for a couple years, but had the smarts to keep it slushed with grease. The coolant sump was plain disgusting. On the other hand, it doesn't appear to have seen an awful lot of use, and had only been repainted once. -- Ned Simmons |
