Hi Ben , Michael and I are still alive. Michael graduated last spring, now in seminary, I still farm, hang out on the ag sites (newagtalk) , antique tractor and now since I bought a piper warrior some plane sites. Our CCKW is out in the pole barn, I try to take it around the country block (4miles )once a month if not too cold (STILL. waiting for my recoverd doors from new life). We do the memorial day/4th parade in our town and the THIS OLD TRUCK show over at yellow springs. I was able to do some work on the dump bed that we got from pfarber over the holidays ,ours orignialy was a dump ,but lost it's bed in a past life, now has a good m211 bed on it. Surprised you remember us, thanks again for the help with the hydrovac kit. If I can get my IT staff to help will post some recent pictures. Gordon

Thank you for the compliment, Russ was good man and is missed by many. Russ was a big part of the MV world ,but do many here know of the big part he played in the agriculture world ??As a young farmer in the mid 1970s when his Floter applicator hit the scene it was a game changer in the way we applied fertilize and herbicides .The three wheel design is still the standard even today. The Mid Ohio chemical plant on our road wore out several !!

Michael here,
Boy, it's been a while since I've visited (finished a Bachelor's degree and started my Master's in seminary since my last post)! This all of course means I haven't been able to do much related with the hobby since, but as my dad said, some work has been started with the appropriate dump bed for our 353 H1. Attached are a few pictures of the bed from a while ago, since then my dad has been able to do a lot of reconstruction work with new steel panels.
Still treasure my little M3A4 ;)
Anyone located down here in SC where I'm at?

Okay did not realize that Gordon. Well Michael is welcome to hang out with us local MV guys if he wants to. We run a number of events during the year. The next one is at the Greenville gun show on Feb 1.
