More snow

It's getting deep.

March 1

It snowed.

It's cold

Grey truck looks blue.

Bikini Girls with Machine Guns

I haven't heard that song in ages.
Until this week.
It snowed and all we got was a foot of rain.

Transmission

Clutch won't release...

Front yard

Waiting for the water testing people...

Headlights!

The headlights work, sort of.

More wire!

The engine was running, but the flash "froze" the fan blade movement.

Wiring the F-3

Most of the wires in this truck have cloth covered insulation.
Some of these wires have arced across and the insulation has charred off.
I want to keep this truck as original as I can, which means keeping the 6 volt wiring, starter & generator.
I suspect sometime in the future it will be converted to a 12 volt system, but for now I'm thinking 6 volt.

6 volt wiring has to be "heavier" to accommodate the amperage.

Alas, I can't find 6, 8 or 10 gauge cloth covered insulated wiring that is in good shape.
So I used automotive wire & 4 gauge welding cable to replace the wiring to the generator, distributor and temperature sensor.
I'll try to get into the cab with replacement wire tomorrow, but the weather has not cooperated.

Puppies!

My neighbor didn't tell me that he had two new dogs.

They visited today.

One is supposed to be a  poodle / retriever mix, the other looks like a retriever.

I've got to get a dog of my own.
