I've had mine since 1990, a few years ago I went out to start it and it was hydraulically locked. Electrolisist had ate through one of the cylinder walls. If found out they had some troubles with that, but it was too late when I found out. I put a 7.3 out of a salvage in it. 

I've been using it for a spray truck untill a couple years ago. My wife won't let me sell it because it was what I had when we got married!

It had been dry enough to work for about the last week, but we got 1.5&quot; last night. WB&lt;&gt;&lt;.
