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 - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
