Last week I sold the WC-62 that I bought last fall. The guy that bought it lives about 15 miles from me, has a Power Wagon, an M43, several project M37s, a 46 Dodge 2wd and several other dodges. In other words "one of us". His trailer was in use somewhere else so I told him he could borrow mine. He showed up at my shop with a Ford 1 ton flatbed. He is a very talented Metalworker and this is a company truck for the company he works for. We hook on the trailer, load the WC62 on, get it chained down and off he goes.
He came by yesterday to tell me "the rest of the story"
So, he has a long steep hill to pull before he gets to his house. As he was starting up the hill, the Ford started shifting funny. Abuot a mile fronm the top and about 3 miles from his house, BANG! no more transmission. He backed it back off the side as well as he could. a neighbor came by and gave him a lift back to his house. He started up the M43 and drive it down the hill. He unhooked the Ford and dragged it out of the way. Then hooked the M43 to the trailer and pulled the trailer with the WC62 up the rest of the hill and to his house. 2nd gear, low range was all she would go p the hill, but it got him home. He said he took a couple of pictures, and would get them to me, I will post them when I get them. He is goung to try to make the Lee Rally with the M43.
