howdy :)

Hey yall! I've been such a huge fan of these trucks since I was a kid, and was beyond stoked to get my hands on one back in 2020. I call her ol' Bessy cause she's messy and loud, but she's mostly faithful. Anyways I've been lurking the documentation section of this site since around then, slowly chipping away at her to-do list. The transmission gave out last year and she's been sitting since then. Last week I finally got impatient, pulled it out and decided to tinker around with the internals instead of continuing to save up for a replacement. Thats my current project and I figured since I've been on this site every day before work reading old manuals and forum posts I might as well say hi while I'm waiting for parts to arrive. So here we are!




fourth of july, don't worry she survived without a scratch


The current state of affairs with the SROD

at least you have it laid out in somewhat of an orderly fashion.

Hey Mark Zuckerberg!

Welcome to the forum!! Glad you are here!

well, you claim that the transmission "went out". what have you found broken or badly worn?

Welcome!  Glad you joined.  

So, what's the problem with the tranny?

Welcome!
