BritKLR's "Working Pig"

[jdog35]

You need a cat. Call him Cruiser and have him set up shop in the garage. He'll be fat before you know it, and you wont have any more mice.

Check the vent box under dash and blower motor under dash on passenger side too. I have found them in there too

The cool thing is that those mice saved you the work of pulling down all that insulation yourself!

Update -

Spent a week out at the house and a couple of days working on the WP. Most of the time was spent re-welding the snow plow due to some cracks on the blade and "A" frame. I'll update with some pix once I've loaded them onto the box.

I also removed and rebuilt the heater core and fan box and will re-install them on my next trip out. Getting ready for snow!

Also want to thank everyone for the help on the 3 spd conversion! I know most like to upgrade to the 4spd, but I'd like to keep it with the 3spd, but with the floor shift.

I might have to side with Pablo on this and suggest holding back with the cats for a while. Trying to get all that insulation off the roof is a nightmare. Makes my shoulders hurt thinking about it. I ended up using a soda blaster to get rid of mine. Heck if those little buggers are willing to do the work, throw a couple candy bars up there for encouragement.

Just don't get any mouse urine on the metal. A friend of mine that does media blasting says that stuff will rot sheet metal bad...

Thanks for the info. Did you friend have any suggestions on what to clean the interior surface/metal with? I'll be out working on it the first week of November and can do some additional cleaning at that time.

Thanks.

 

[PabloCruise]

Do you mean to clean the urine off?

I can ask...

 

[AdventureToolCompany]

Yes. That would be helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks to Scrapdaddy I have floor shifter for the Working Pig. Cleaned it up a bit and will install it next week.

Thanks for all the help

Nice Job! I'm just glad you were able to use it. I might wind up useing the 3 speed column shift, column, in my pig. I haven't taken it apart yet, to see how to eliminate all the stuff. I'll follow along with you.

I'll post up once I get it in and see how it works. I still have a bad first gear so I'll be searching for a new tranny and swap everything over in the near future.

Good luck on your 3 spd.

 

[scrapdaddy]

I'm just going to use the column, from a 3 speed, maybe!

So, spending a couple of days at the house installing the 3 spd stick conversion and this is what 1 st gear looks like!!!

Got it installed and everything but first works.....

Just in time for the snow!

Don't have a mouse problem, but the wabbits like the Working Pig.
