Evening nappers and fappers.
Been down south for a couple of days helping the in-laws.
Got up at 0400 Saturday morning, drove over to the nephews place, went down to Weewahitchka FL and picked up that ratty-looking bucket truck.
About 4 1/2 hours from him.
Replaced fuel lines, filters, and installed a temporary 55 gallon drum for a fuel tank.
Changed oil and filter. Put a battery and terminals, starter solenoid, and tinkered with the lights a bit.
Primed the fuel system with the electric pump. It doesnt appear to have a provision for a mechanical one.
Thing popped off and ran without even making a full revolution.
Tuned on the carb a bit. Running rich, but not terribly.
Has an Allison transmission, so that shifted fine.
Alternator was hosed, so we switched out the headlights for LEDs in a Wal-Mart parking lot when we got back to GA.
Made it all the way home with no issues at about 0230 this morning.
I got back to Swainsboro and got to sleep about 0400 this morning.
Got up about 0800 and been cleaning out the late BILs truck and building all day.
