My local Case whiz has the right idea, to build brackets on the RH side as he has done on several, closer to the starter and easier to get to. In the mean time, he is running 3 or so weeks behind before he can get to it, the batteries are almost toast that are in it. At the temps we are having now, it needs to crank more than 3 or 4 seconds before it starts, do have it running right now, as did yesterday. This is the old yeller cab I just got here from Indiana, sounds good, just need to get it what it needs, stuff like the batteries, radio, light switch and one cab flasher, one mirror, new radio, all the filters as preventive maintainance, etc. Was wondering if I could just cut the front end out of the battery box with a torch to slide the batteries out one at a time until I get them moved, and hold new ones in with a bungee cord/baling wire accross the end to hold them in? As mentioned, will start with help from battery charger/booster, but not going to put up with that for very long. My Ford 5000 diesel has seen the last of it's snow pushing days, tired of freezing my behind with no cab. DOUG
