My son who just turn 15 is the one who will have night mares about the teardown. He's the one that has done all the work so far. I just helped him with the heavy lifting. I'll make a mechanic out of that boy yet. :D

Yep the same method of removing and installing my cab (more than once). Keep up the post and progress.

I'm very jellous of your garage... :)

Looks good. If I could get time and money together I could get back on my project, but they're fighting and don't want to work together right now.... :lol:

Looks like you are having fun M-11 :) Brings back memories. Welcome to the begining of your journey. Thanks for sharing the pics and keep us posted. Oh, and thank you for taking on a project like this with your son instead of throwing a video game in front of him like sadly so many parents do. You will make a mechanic of him. I was about 10 when my dad threw my first old farm tractor at me and said "make it run" Keep up the good work. I still use some of the tools my dad gave me and think of him every time I do. Your son will do the same 40 or 50 years from now.

Now that mine is back on the road I don't know what I am going to do this winter without working on the M. Maybe straighten my room? :lol:

Nice work! I remember pulling and swapping mine, with one eye looking every direction to make sure the apartment manager didn't spot me! Nice to see you are getting your son into the hobby-we need more youngsters to carry the torch....

Let's hope that he figures out that it goes back together a lot easier than the alarm clock he "tore down" at age 8! (Well...at least easier than the clock that I tore down at that age. Hehehehe!)

Did you ever get your clock put back together and running? I didn't! :?

I didn't sit down for a week, either! :(

I was wondering how I was going to get my cab off of the frame!!!

Next time, I'm pulling the cab BEFORE I pull the engine!!!

Good job!
