In Reply to: Jonas, what the deal on the '53 posted by KenW on Friday, March 05, 2004 at 9:49PM :
I think the cab is low in tthe back. If you look at the gap between the rocker and the running board you can see that theres more of a gap in the front than in the back. I think I just need to reshim the rear cab mounts with a set of hockey pucks or something.
I'm not really sure what I'm going to do with it. I need to go through the brakes and wiring, and drive it for a bit to get a feel for her. I'm working on getting the Fargo together to bring to Hollister, then get a '60 W500 up and running for snowplow/firewood duty next winter. The '53 is on the back burner. Nice thing is it runs like a a champ, and has really good power. I've had a couple of rigs here that only move under power of a Allis Chalmers tractor and that's a pain in the butt!
