David and Alex - you are both correct saving little bits of steel cut from a project truck is conservation - my comment is take a magic marker or one of those paint pens and write what it is on the part. I was fortunate in that the first owner of my HUP had saved every part that was removed and threw them in a big wooden box or in the big box under the middle seat. I was luck in that the contents of the seat box and wooden box were still with the truck when I got it. But it took forever to figure out where some of the parts went.

I've tried to save all the bits particularly from my Pattern 12 which I've replaced repaired and re-fabricated a lot of the cab and frame. I've save all the bits some of them must weigh 100lbs. in the loft of the barn.

One last thing David in your first post to this thread you said "First is the ultra-low "granny" gear that I will probably never use, " sure you will great for parades lets you spin the engine fast enough to keep the engine cool.

Cheers Phil
