I bought this in Vernal, Utah in 1981. Rebuilt the engine in it and then drove it up the AlCan highway in 83 and lived in a cabover camper on the back of it for 2 1/2 years. Had all my welder and tools on it and worked as a mobile er, traveling - welder in and around Anchorage. Drove it home to MN in 85 and used it once in a while. "Restored" it twice in the 17 years I had it. First time I got rid of the 98 hp Hercules JXB in it and put a JXLD 120hp? into it. JXLD came out of a Buffalo Springfield 10 ton roller if that name rings a bell. The second time I pulled the cab and bed off of it and set them on a 1975 IH Loadstar 1600. That 345 ci and 2 speed axle with over size tires really made it go. It would do 80 pretty easy. Finally, I really didn't have room for it any more and to keep commercial plates and insurance on it got to be a little much so I sold it in 98 or 99. The photos are some years after I painted it the first time. I had put the tow bar on it so I could pull it back home from up at my land. It was a model 404 - 1 1/2 ton. Had some fun with it. Like the time going up to AK with my buddy driving and me laying on the fender adjusting the timing and carb to get a couple more ponies out of that sissy JXB. My cousin had these pics and recently gave them to me. I still have an extra side/name plate from one. Above the window in the kitchen as a keepsake.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
