The 602 cab is off getting the paint and undercoating work. Here are some miscellaneous brake/radiator parts getting the POR15 treatment!

Sorry Snowcat...the handles are pretty much the originals...I think one had some reman work done to it. Pretty sure you could fabricate...let me know if you need some spec's and measurements!

Just caught up on your build. You are now in the league of Weatherby! So far there are only two of you in that club! Very nice work!

Thanks Snowcat...Weatherby's 601 is so sweet!!! He has been a wealth of info and help on my 602 restore. He pretty much did the 601 back to USAF standards but the 602 is civilan and I am doing a few minor modifications for modern comforts. I greatly appreciate you compliments:biggrin:
 
I agree with SNOWCAT OPPS. and everybody else watching your tread VERY nice:thumb:


I gave you a Rep. point as a Christmas present just before Christmas, but I see it didn't show up. I will have to get with a moderator to find out if I did something wrong.

Okay Kevin...what is a Rep. point????:whistling: I am smelling new paint fumes as we talk:brows:
 
No...My shift pattern plate was in good shape, and if I were you, I think I would leave yours alone, yours looks pretty good.
 
Always great work and details...

Can't wait to see the new paint on the cab!

Just learned how to give you another rep point... well deserved!
 
Don't want to jinx it... but this clearly has the makings to be the finest civilian 602 restoration on the planet.
 
Anything this sweet... usually can't be legal! ;)
I know you say and think you're gonna drive it... yer not when you see her all done.
Yer gunna have yer driver and yer gunna have yer baby. ;)
 
My 602 was original used for 47 years as an utility cat for a rural electric company in Duboise Wyoming. That part of Wyoming is particularly rugged and as you can imagine employees are not always as gentle with equipment as all of us forum members. Anyways, there was significant cracking to the lower structure of the cab. A 8'x10"x1/8" had been added to help reinforce the cat cab longitudinally. Also, I welded 3/8" plate in areas of high stress along with welding of all the cracks.

Also got around to pulling some wires:clap:

Nice job on the reinforcement, I had some cracks on my 601 but very minor ones.

Don't forget the rubber grommets for the wire going through the side of the engine compartment. Looks good:thumb:
