Hey Allan! Got Engine?

Heck! If I would have had this kind of friendship when I was young, I probably would have turned out much better. :>)

Yes please. My email is open.

Allan

How's about I take pictures of my "hole" to show you what all I need.

Basically, what they did was, to remove the hoses off the hydro cooler, off the radiator and they then removed the hydraulic pump and left that part with the machine. They took the accelerator cable, fuel line, A/C lines and drive belt off and lifted the whole darned shootin' match off the combine as one big assembly including the rails. I was hopin' to set another "unit" right back in it's place

If you could get me pictures of what you have on your end, we can compare.

You should know me by now. I pay cash and I don't dance around.

Thanks Pard! Like I say, my email is open on this topic.

Allan

They sound like twin sisters! I have two of the four cradle bolts, but all the rest is gone. :>(

Really hoping this will work out.

I'll get some pictures of my "gaping hole" later on this morning so that we can compare machines.

Thanks Buddy!

Allan

Yeah, the odds of getting that old sow back were somewhere in between slim and none, so needless to say yesterday was kind of an emotional, topsy-turvy day.

Original plan was to just park the old beater in the trees and look at it from time to time as to remind myself of better days gone by.

Wife says no way, no deal. Make it new again (think she wants me out of the house). :>)

So, here we go. Gonna be a long, happy winter, boys. :>)

Allan

I'll take it from Iowa's east border to Des Moines.(:~})

You get it to Des Moines, I can get it to Omaha or Lincoln if necessary.

Rob

I'll come to Iowa if I have to. I'm on a mission with this project (some have called it a "vengence"). :>)

'Side's that, it's your turn to buy the coffee. :>)

Figured that by the time JoeBob got done with me, I wouldn't be able to afford a cup. :>)
