Robert Pearce Starts to restore

[hrpearce]

The steering column has been repaired in the distant past and the switch panel has a combination of round and ovil holes.

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Robert - your switch plate is a new configuration to me. Is the scripting embossed on the plate or are they the remains of small switch plates?

Bob, It is a brass plate painted black and the letters are embossed into it.

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Robert - thanks for the information. To save me trawling back through the thread, exactly what truck is this plate from including year. I see there is a hole where the speedometer should be, do you have one?

the fuel company rep stoped by yesterday and left a gift as a thankyou for spending 90% of my income with them should come in handy

Another day of breaking floor studs and I am close to being able to remove cab frame. It's amazing what you uncover this pin in the accelerator linkage was a disaster waiting to happen lucky I haven't had to walk home. The twist of tie wire was about half worn through.

At last all of the cab is off Next I will have to hot wire it to drive it out into the paddock for degreasing. A few new seals are needed and the back of th gear box looks like it will need repairing with putty steel, I'll have a better idea after the muck is washe off . I now have three months to get it back together for club rego day so I may have to abandon the farm
