I would think it's negligible, because even though some old sites up here in Northern BC do contain NORMs (naturally occurring radioactive materials), most of them don't, so my guess would be that it would be diluted by the time it got to the end user.
yeah, I think if it was a 40 series I might have more motivation to work on it, right now I prefer to do stuff on the farm, which keeps me pretty busy as well. I think if someone came to me with a solid offer, I'd probably sell it as is.
I live up in the peace region where we have a lot of cereal crops, and the general crop rotation goes round up ready canola that they spray with roundup to control the weeds through out the year, then often spray something on it in the fall to kill it so the seed can finish up and they can...
My BJ42 has 12V headlights and it is stock that way. Guess they made the left light draw from left battery and right light from right battery. You just have to be quick on changing out a blown head light or you will get charging issues.
Exactly. We are like a big herd of antelope, with the most paranoid easily freaked out people setting off the whole herd at the littlest problem, which then compounds us into two years of fricken lockdown and no end in sight. Everybody needs to calm the f down soon, or we will continually run...
Well, Dan finished up and I got the truck home this weekend, super pumped, thanks Dan for a good start to my Farm truck build! Note the hard top colour is off because HomeHardware ran out of the colour in most stores in BC, but I did have my father inlaw pick up some in Alberta for me to get it...
Hi Brad,
I am always a little on the look out for parts trucks, and might be interested if the price is right, although my wife may kill me if I bring too much stuff home. Plus I wouldn't be able to do it till the summer (although this winter is not much snow really, I just got a few drifts to...
I had a BJ60 that hadn't run in 15 years, I brought it up from my dads place, the batteries were pootched so I asked my father in law to give me a tug down the driveway, he said there was no way it would fire up. We barely got it rolling when I popped it into 3rd and let the clutch out, thing...
Update on the farm, lots done this year, drained a lot of wet spots, bought mower for rainy summer, built fence around yard to stop moose eating apples, gardens did good, got decent garlic, threw a few culverts in on trails or field access, got a mini donkey, bottle fed it till it got into the...
Finished Step two and got the parts down to Dan, while he had the 3b mocked up, then sandblasted the frame when I was dropping things off a couple weeks ago. Progress!
Yeah, just thought I should document things just so I have timelines written down and I can go back to see when I did what, sort of like how I can see how long I’ve been working on the mine truck ;) plus every now and then I’ll scroll through a thread to see how the truck changed like my 42...
And a final few of where I am currently at. Dan said he has pulled both trucks apart and is currently staring to put engine into 40. Hoping to be done cleaning up my axles by end of summer and Dan to be done in fall sometime so I can start driving it to work!
