Underdog Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Sunday was a good day in Bangor. FINALLY have made some time lately to move ahead on the F607. Got the engine out to repair spun main bearing and crankshaft. I plan to repair this engine and put it back in, since this is one of the few early F's I would like to keep it original. The plan is to be up & running in time for the ATHS convention in May 2012.

Underdog Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 As an added bonus to make my day complete, I actually sold the B-61 LST and moved it out. A father and son bought the truck with plans to restore it. 11-year-old Jimmy seems ambitious and very interested in the old trucks and his dad already has a few, including a B-30. I am looking forward to seeing the B-61 at truck shows in the future rather than in the scrapyard. I probably could have made more money scrapping it, but it does my heart good to see young people interested in the hobby.

Underdog Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Thanks, TBone. I have been losing ambition over the summer as I have been quite busy with work. It feels good to be making progress on this project.

Rob Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I think we will finally get to meet at the convention Gregg. I had enough "fun" at the ATHS convention in South Bend, I'll be making the jaunt east to attend the next upcomming one in 2012. Hope to be bringing something of mine along.......Project looks good to see progress. Believe me how I know the motivation thing..... Seems I get so little done for myself satisfying others' needs first, then no time and little energy to do anything else.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

Underdog Posted October 17, 2011 Author Share Posted October 17, 2011 Hello, Rob. It is always a pleasure to meet face to face those friends we would never know other than the cyber world. Looking forward to seeing you in Mass. hope we both have iron up & running.I am just 5 min. off I-80 near the PA/NJ line if you need a pit stop about 200 miles away from Springfield, MA. I have already decided to take time off for this show since it is so close to home. As I said earlier, life is too short to spend chasing the dollar.Gregg Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21099-f-model-engine-out/#findComment-88698 Share on other sites More sharing options...
