Big door was open!! Definitely added more light. Yep, not a photographer, heck I'm just happy to be getting the documentation along with the work completed. Thanks for the comments, glad to hear someone is following along.

Jags, any ideas on how to make the pictures more user friendly? Did get a brainstorm/fart on the hood yesterday. As it develops, will post it in a picture.

Well the boys must have rested up over the weekend. They hit the ground running today and with confidence!! One young man split the hood in the correct spot so it fits beside the elevator which is what picture one shows. What isn't seen but is as important, another young man took the inside hood...

We didn't really like the angle iron bracket on the side of the frame, weight and twist issue so went back to my scrap pile and pulled out a rear bumper and it seems like it is going to work well. Picture one is the old/original idea for the swivel on the elevator. Picture two is the second idea...

danl, I must live next to your neighbor's daughter!!!!! At least once a week all summer she is burning something. At least they got rid of the horse and she has quit burning a manure pile!

Now that old Power Wagon is one sweet truck. Don't know if I could use it for work??!! Beats my old 48 Ford one ton with dump.

I have been fortunate to have had days like you described but envious because I have not been fortunate enough to have it recorded on film to enjoy at later dates. Looks like a great day and great company. Enjoyed looking at the pictures. Wonder how that lone tree feels in the midst of all...

Got some parts in today along with a fancy socket with four ears so I could reach in the front hub and remove a lock ring, locking washer and the outer bearing nut. Picture one is the axle with rotor, hub and most parts removed. Picture two is the front axle with the new rotor and caliper shown...

TreeCo, it is all in how you build your fire. I don't fill the box with hardwoods and build a fire like I do in December. Generally every other day I throw three slabs of pine on the bed of coals and it will take off on its own and burn down. Keep the water above 150 using quick hot fires.

Okay, here is how I have lined out the pivot for the elevator and how it has been explained to the boys so they can put it together tomorrow. First of all the first picture shows the angle iron bracket I picked out of the junk pile and it will attach to the outside front of the right side of the...

Man don't you just love it. OWB owners fighting amongst themselves on regulations, okay if you use it in winter for heat but not in summer for hot water?!:jawdrop: I shut off the valve to my floor (for the floor heat to the slab of concrete) and the valve to my old furnace (for...

Dump bed eventually. Before we get to that we have to make the elevator bracket strong enough that the elevator itself will swing out 90 degrees as I want to be able to pull alongside of a trailer or another truck and load. Also as I look at the elevator now in the pictures, if I leave it at...

Okay, the Termite is being born!!!! Teardown is pretty much completed, we set the bed I am going to use for this truck on the frame and the elevator is sitting so we can start fabricating brackets. Tomorrow's pictures should show a lot also if we keep this pace.

Last of the teardown is completed. Truck is running again and quite well as a matter of fact. Rotors and brakes are ordered, gathering parts this weekend should start the building process Monday.

Yep, here in NorthWest Indidana myself. Seven years of heating solely with Central Boiler OWB. Best decision I ever made concerning my family's money towards winter heating solution. I figure a pickup load a week in the winter. If I cut that much and have it set aside, I won't run out.

gink595, other end of the state same side! North Judson, NJ-SP High school. I teach Agriculture. And it was the latest issue of FarmShow, volume 32, no. 2, page 4 across the top half.

WV, glad to hear you want to see more. Was concerned this wouldn't be interesting for most even though I think in the end, it will be quite the project and conquest for my boys. iCreek, also thanks for the interest. We are on the downhill side of tear down. I have to gather needed items...

Yesterday's progress. They got the passenger front fender off. The spare tire came down finally allowing access to final bed bolts. So, bed is now gone. Driver's door we made a cut down the center relieving some pressure allowing it to "unpinch" and come open. That door and seats should be...

Long story shortened a bit, I have been lurking here for sometime. Heat my home solely with a Central Boiler OWB for the past seven years. This is a project I am doing with a group of my welding students to finish out the year. This is a truck that my oldest daughter flipped on its roof with...

Great job!!! Man that will prove to be a back saver!! Wondering about the apparent log catch on the other side. Since your log is pushed through the wedge, does it need to be farther up the I beam so it catches the 1/2 as it falls? Do you see the log lift as being in the way while splitting...
