Just got back from Arizona. I bought back some top hoops and sunbrella fabric. I am building a "duster" top for it.

So far, I have started it up, but as we had snow this weekend, haven't taken it for a drive yet.

Also picked up a PTO and shaft when I was down south. Will install later this summer, but need to find something for the PTO to drive.

Hello Stu

Trie carb cleaner, tried MEK, I dont know what mechanics wire is either but in aviation we use lockwire. Say 40 0r 60 thou stainless. That did not work either.

Hi Bill,
Thanks for joining the topic. You are a snowbird are you not? Lucky guy. How is the jeep coming along?I see where you were questioning guys about History Road, Donna and I will be there with the MB, Would like to bring the M38, but that means bringing the motorhome and a truck. So we sure will see you there? We would like to park together at the show and we will be grouped together in the 1940-50 grouping. We sure would like more participants but... We are staying at the Prairie Breeze campground across the road from the Reynolds Museum on Friday and Saturday nights.
Hey Steve, you should be back in Gods Country by then, will we see you there? Registrations have to be in be May 9th.
Re the lines, I thought mine were bad, but did manage to get them cleaned finally. Yours are BAD!
Talk to you later.
Stu

Bill,
I forgot, I do have something for you to hook your PTO to. A Ramsey or a Viking winch. I will have them at the Swap Meet in Red Deer this weekend.

Sunbrella is a fabric usually used for boats. Comes in lots of colors and is very good quality. It is also UV resistant so it does not fade.....or at least does so very slowly.

Not going to be able to make Red Deer this weekend but still planning on History Road.

My PTO is a rear output so the winch would have to have the input shaft on the drivers side and mount on the rear. The driveshaft I have is actually for a winch as it has the 3/4" pinned shaft. If you don't sell it this weekend we can discuss further.

Will do. Are you staying for both days at History Road?

At this point, I am planning on staying for both Saturday and Sunday (assuming the weather cooperates). I have a reservation at Prairie Breeze across the road from Friday afternoon to Monday morning.

Any idea if there will be any other members there??
