Good information. I remember up until about 1980 the Astro95/General had steel doors, then they went to some kind of composite. The composite doors didn't rust of course but I think they had trouble with the window mechanism.

Thanks @BOBWhite I will get some pictures of the pump and door tag tomorrow.

Door plate tag or Injector pump tag might reveal something if they aren't worn off too. Someone here might be able to decode that injection pump tag but not sure. Best of luck

I kept a little Honda trail 70 in the back of my pickup for that very reason, parts fetching that is. I must have carried over 1000lbs of small odds and ends back and forth from the field to the shop. Pick it up and throw it in the back when done. And sorry again for highjacking the thread lol.

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to check and see what my E6 4V is set to for HP? I'm assuming 350HP. The engine serial Number plate has been wore off so It's unreadable. Was wondering if there is a way to check by maybe looking at the postion of the fuel rack in the injection pump? Not a huge deal if i can't would just be nice to know going forward. Thanks again everyone.

Yup! 🤔

Joey, I think we stepped all over this guy’s tread

Back when I started I broke in on the same model spoke wheels steel diamond plate tanks… they were everywhere… bob

i’m sure you’re saving him tons of money

Handy, yes, but it grows old quick, working out of a truck! BTDT. No one brings parts out to you, you have to go fetch, there are plenty of things "back at the shop" that you know you have but not with you at the moment. No matter how hard you try to think of everything you might need, there is always more that you don't have. Still there is alot you can accomplish with a mobile repair truck.

Get-R-Done .....Hippy

I guess who knows! someone could have put that together with the cross memeber on mine and used to have the back to back. If thats the case they did a pretty good job 🤣🤣

That is definitely a sweet machine.

Wow, excellent thanks for that… I want it

i just read there was alotta them over there ,,,,and of coarse they hate us

ok now thats just hilarious

Since Joey shared his mobile mechanic setup I thought I'd share one I saw sell on Truck Paper the other day: What a rig! Be something nice to build something like this on the farm someday, crane and welder would sure be handy.

I finished th 673. I still have an E-Tech that belongs to another BMT Brother.. its my second one for him. Its a slow process, but all good..

babba,,,,,,you wonder how many more we got lol.bob

oh that 673,,,,or another one

You nailed it Bob.. i just recently turned down an engine build. I still have one in my shop that I need to wrap up.

FYI The GM plastic outer door handles, 2044072 and 20440073 are NLA. However, the Volvo metal 3080801 and 3080802 can be used in their place. Know that the Volvo LH works on the GM right side, and the Volvo RH works on the GM left side. I learned all this and sourced from Raney's Truck Parts in Ocala.

ya me too,,,,,,that was a big part of why i said that,,,,im sure you can still rustle up some pretty good side business,,,of coarse in-between many honey dooos and of coarse your too many toys,,,,bob

Correct Bob.. i was mobile for 13 years.. i did not buy a computer. I bought a truck and big tools.. i am so glad i am out!!!

I was told that there was some sort of precious metals in them and that it burned out over time is what went bad with them
