I went to the garage today to work on my WD and found that my Father In-law had made me a new battery box and tool box! Those were the last two things I needed to get, to finish the old girl up.

When it comes to battery boxes for six volt systems, I wish someone would make them 1/2" to 1" deeper so they would work easier with the heavy cables we need to use. ------------- Most problems can be solved with the proper application of high explosives. |

My Father-In-Law worked in a welding shop for 53 years. He died a few years back, before I started fixing A-C's. Sure wish he was still around. Give that man a man sized hug! You're lucky to have him! ------------- "Allis-Express" 19?? WC / 1941 C / 1952 CA / 1956 WD45 / 1957 WD45 / 1958 D-17 |
