I got 1880 started up and drove her for the first time in 2013. Did a quick regraining and some minor projects before she gets trailered to Cincinnati this week for the St. Patrick's Day Parade.

I installed the new WUR and battery on 5875 today. Started her up for the first time since November with no problems. I didn't drive it yet, though. Maybe I'll do that next weekend depending on weather.

It has been a few months since I last updated - have been working on my D for so many hours a night that I've only had a chance to post a few updates on Facebook here and there. So here's to some catching up...
Firstly, ripped out the radiator assembly. Replaced the brass/plastic radiator with DMCH (via MidWest) aluminium (or aluminum to US folk) puppy. Cleaned up the shroud and then replaced the huge, heavy, NOISY, and current sucking fans with NorthWest's insanely quiet, slimline, high airflow yet low current puppies.
In the process I discovered one of my old fans had dislodged its propeller and was no longer spinning - which would explain why in the month prior I had noticed my fans ran for 2-3 times longer than usual to cool down (I presumed it was the hotter weather, but turned out one of the fans was spinning freely).

4456 Overheated on me the other day in a short driving condition and the fans never seemed to kick on. She was due for an oil change and I noticed the coolant was on the low side so today I did the oil change today and topped off the coolant. My son and I took her out for a shakedown and things seemed better. She warmed up rather quickly but the fans kicked on this time - Still worrisome because today was a much cooler day than yesterday. I'll drive her to work tomorrow for another test run. I made need to bleed the cooling system.

Removed every coolant hose and pipe. Cleaned and grained all the pipes, very stoked with how they came up. Most importantly I replaced all the heavily swollen and deteriorating rubber hoses with silicone. Took the opportunity to fit a new otterstat as well, nothing wrong with the old one but of course it is old. Refitted everything back in place.

Why? Those flat Concrete pavers look extremely solid. It's not like he's using cinder blocks sideways.Wow Tillsy....watching this made me cringe....get rid of those bricks and get some proper ramps!

Just looks unsafe to me...I've heard of too many cars falling off cinder blocks, or hydraulic jacks failing....$100 for a pair of ramps is a small price to pay
