Bruce and Rick,
Thanks very much for the encouragement. I'll be giving the guy a call this week and giving him a deposit for the truck.
The box is indeed what's left of a wireless box. The fellow who came out to help me has restored three of these, including a very nice command post and he said it was a crying shame what they did to it but what can you do?
The bottom is still in one piece (and in the box we found both window frames) but there is a lot of junk back there (counterweight for the snow-blower) that will be tossed away.
It's a big project but I think I can do it. I'm a dab hand with a welder and there isn't much to be fixed on it. Though the loss of the bumper is kind of a bummer. Have to figure out how to replace that right off.
Ah well, baby steps huh?
Pedro
