tim, thanks for the short M818 operator lesson i got at the rally we made the trip with no problems getting mine. I replaced my stock seat with a MRAP seat and its MUCH more comfortable. I posted pics in the 5ton and up modification thread. If your going to redo them anyway. might be worth an upgrade

Got your headlights working yet ? last picture from 05.04.2011 shows light switch in the parking light position which is probably why the headlights do not work.

yesterday i was passing the 818 and then thought a moment about how its been 2 months since last start up. i pumped the fuel primer 3 times ,, hit the start switch and started right up. still sounds great. i am trying to move some stuff so i can get the m750 moved and then the tractor goes up to the shop for all rest of the items left to do. seats and lights and then the paint job. i will take some more pics once i move it to the shop.
