The new #10 comes home next month!
I only have 9 CCKWs right now So I found a new #10 (had 10 till John Cliche bought it).
The new one has 2,800 original miles on it. It is a 1942 I believe from the grill. I could not read the data plate and cannot remember the sn from the frame (old-timers). I seem to remember 126,xxx
I went over last Sun to see George the fellow who is selling to to me. He sold me #1, 3, 9, (original #10) and now this one.
I wanted to see if I could make it run. He said it had run two years ago "when parked". I brought everything I thought I needed.
The starter made one half-hearted clunk and gave up. Stoopid Steve did not bring a starter.... So I took it out and flicked the brush holders and made sure it would run sitting on the fender. After reinstalling it and electric pumping gasoline from the Jerrycan to the carb, and a little (OK a lot) of ether down the carb, George tried it. Off she went! It had a difficult time staying running. I forgot that I had noticed that it was missing the right angle fitting and connection to the hydrovac line. To say she was running a bit lean would be an understatement! Adjusting my hand over the carb to compensate for the big hole in the intake system allowed it to run pretty smoothly and without smoke.
The next problem was getting it to move. George could not get it into gear without horrific grinding. OK, we loosen the clutch bolts. There is something wrong with the ball pivot that the yoke rides on. In motion, it acted like 1/2 of the ball was missing. After repeatedly loosening the pressure plate bolts more and more, George was finally able to get it into gear with the engine running. Surprisingly the truck would actually move with all the bolts that loose!
We moved the truck to a better position to load it for the trip home and the installation of the cargo body (M211) that will go with it.
Besides getting the CCKW and cargo body, John is getting a 2nd fuel tank for extra parts for the one he bought from me (last years #10). To do all this is going to be quite a project and will require some logistics. We will transporting my Case backhoe over there to make a road to the tank. I will drive "Annie" the CCKW-Schield_Bantam there to pick up both the cargo body and after I build the road, the fuel tank.

Stay tuned for the pictures and U-tube video as John, Bill and other er ah friends participate in Deuce rescue part deux scheduled for a few weeks from now.

Re: The new #10 comes home next month!
It rained for every second we were there ...and we were there ALL day ( the remnants of hurricane IDA )
IDA been a lot smarter if I had brought a change of clothes
IDA been less embarassed if I had not gotten stuck in the rain soaked field ( I don't know how many inches of rain we got but it felt like foot at least )
The hero of the day IMHO, was Ron.....using a 4 ton Ford F250 4X4 to tow out a 20 ton IHC tractor/ trailer combo.
Thanks again ....Ron
All in all an enjoyable day shared with friends
John
PS there should be some "dramatic" shots of aerial acrobatics forthcoming

Re: The new #10 comes home next month!
John,
Don't feel bad. I got stuck too. Even the 4 wheel drive would not pull that 15,000 pound cargo and trailer across that muddy field. Ronzo had to pull me out also.
The scariest part was trying to load the case on the side of the highway in the absolute poor rain.
I have one video I took. I will try and Youtube it later today. It is going to take me several more hours to clean and put the truck and trailer away.

75 miles of freeway speeds in the driving rain did a decent job of cleaning the mud off the truck.Bill_Wolf wrote: It is going to take me several more hours to clean and put the truck and trailer away.
Bill
It also did a good job on my "load " as well
John
PS. Ronzo truly saved the day ( now I know why he insisted we do it the rain )

Re: The new #10 comes home next month!
Thanks to one and all!
It was a "day" of it for all.
Just a bit ago we got home with "Annie" the crane. That was the last piece of the job. Annie did a great job (again) yanking the fuel tanker body out of the woods! At one point, yanking it up to the loading spot for John, I picked the front wheels of the CCKW up off of the ground! According to Ron, Pretty high. I could feel it and knew how far I could go. That tanker is one heavy unit!
Unfortunately due to the rain, I don't think there are too many pictures or videos
