Grigg;
You got it-it's a 1940 model EH. The drivetrain goes something like this; 315 C.I. flathead six gas engine,5 speed main box,3 speed aux. box,currently has a 5th wheel plate,and has the 10.00-20 tires on Dayton wheels. ALL of the hubcaps are still there! It ran,hand-fed,when the guy I'm getting it from got it,and he says it sounded healthy so I'm figuring on a carb rebuild and flushing out the gas tank and lines,and installing a big gas filter.Possibly a fuel pump too.
I just (unofficially) closed the deal on it a couple of days ago. I'm selling my motorcycle to a friend for enough to buy the Mack and get it running. I'm planning to have it paid for in the next month,but might not be able to get it home until warmer weather. Plan is to go get it basically operable onsite and drive it to my brother's place near Reno,(about 25 miles)where we'll spend about a week giving it a good going over,installing new mirrors,mudflaps,fixing whatever wiring issues it may have,lube,oil change,and hopefully,if I have enough money left,installing a flatbed and building a good sized boom. Then,I plan to load my ol' 62 on and drive it home. Looks good on paper-we'll just have to see if I can pull it off in practice.
More as it develops!
