Someone asked me for an update in another thread, and since I haven't been around in a while, I'll give you the quick answer:
I'm in "work-ups" for deployment. Towards the end of the year I'll be heading out for a 7 month cruise. Work-ups take us out of our home area here and there, and keep us very busy. So, that leaves no time, and little money for my H.
My next major step is tires. I'm figuring a grand for that. Then I can stip the old ones, get the rims blasted and painted, then put the new sneakers on. Then I'll figure out the rest.
Kirk's mag still sits in a box. Rusty's rebuilt carb does as well. I'll just have to be patient. I had the manifold that came on the tractor fixed up. The "nice" one I bought from a salvage yard couldn't be faced properly, and we screwed it up trying to free the hot-box valve. So, I had the heat shield studs replaced, a new selector arm welded on (it was snapped off because the valve is frozen). So, I'll have it dipped perhaps? Before I paint it. I still have a new seat to buy, and new guages, but that's about it other then the aforementioned tires. The rest is just the work.
Oh, and I have to buy a PTO ice cream machine that Wardner convinced me on! That's gonna be great at squadron family events!

The General GG was made by the Cleveland Tractor Company (Cletrac) of Cleveland, Ohio. Originally the company was called the Cleveland Motor Plow Company which began in 1912, then the Cleveland Tractor Company (1917) and finally Cletrac.
