Well, now I have another big 939-series project on my hands. This is why the M931A1 tractor is being sold so quickly. This project is even bigger than the 923A2 from last year, but it's what I have always wanted. It was a great price too. I had a local guy pick it up from Portsmouth on his tandem roll-back and haul it John Winslow's place. John is going to do some of the big stuff for me like a bed swap, front clip install, tire swapping, sand-blasting, etc... I get to do all the fun stuff like engine assembly, wiring, CTIS, blah, blah, blah. I have a line on a parts truck with a hard top, front clip, a good bed, windshield, gauge cluster, and some other odds and ends. I think my first project will be getting some decent rubber on it so we can roll it around.
Yes, it is another SeaBee truck. I seem to attract them
To some of you, it will appear to be a residue truck, but trust me, it will be beautiful!
The SeaBees had modified it to a flatbed by yanking the bedsides/tailgate and then spraying it with OD Line-X. The bed is rusty so it must go. That goofy hitch plate on the back has to go too. That will be fun with the gas-axe and the grinder!!
Be prepared for another huge thread like my M923A2 story with tons of pics and rebuild info. Here are some to get you started.
Big thanks go out to my buddy Ben Blythe for hauling it to NC for me!!!
