Ken,

I couldn't help but notice your dataplate with your SN.
My M100 was made by Dunbar Kapple as well with a DOD of 9/51 SN 01208135. With yours being 01207309, I wonder how many they could pump out in a day...

Yours looks to be in MUCH better shape than mine did when I first got it. My floor had to come out, the rear panel had to be totally replaced, and the front panel had to be mostly replaced.

Good find!

I'll try to get a photo and some measurements on the brake handle for you.

Don't know Bob, You think a least 50 a day?

I took it all apart and had the tub, fenders and A frame rails blasted.
The pitting was bad in places in the forward bed where water would stand . I am trying to repair that without cutting and replacing with a new section.
The lunnette ring looks new. It appears the hardware has been messed with and has been greased up.
Both of the fenders have a little tear on the edge. I can fixed that pretty easily with the mig. I might put a little piece of sheet metal on the inside of the tear to reinforce it. It has one correct steel wheel. I have to get the tail lights and wiring plugs. The safety chains and the tool box also. I went ahead and primed it they day I got it back from being blasted so it wouldn't rust.
