Used the deuce to pull out one of the donated vehicles. Pushed it into the barn so we could pull the engine. Since the engine hoist has been borrowed, we used the crane to pull the short block. Probably not the first time this truck has been used to pull an engine out of a jeep, but most likely...

Got the master cylinder kit on Saturday and took the old cylinder out. The piston was partially stuck which I think was causing a lot of my issues, plus it was leaking. The cylinder honed out fairly well. I put it back in last night and bled the brakes w/ a couple of our summer students today...

Took the 'deuce down to the gas station following one of our donated cars that we just got running and needed gas. Took a student w/ me that is going into the Marine Corps soon. He asked me what the transfer gas lever was for when we got back to the yard so I put it in low. He was impressed...
