sign went up in front of my next door neighbor's yesterday.

https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/2476-Whalen-Rd-Bloomfield-NY-14469/31884778_zpid/
Closing 6/1 for 360k
Had 17 offers

His assessment had gone from 160 to 260 in this reassessment round while mine went from 270 to 400

Those prices with current interest rates combined especially with ny taxes make my eyes water. Thats gotta be a 3500 payment.

brake lines mostly run. ordered another roll of braded hose. was short. 
hopefully the 250$+ i have spent total on hose and fittings is not a big fail and they hold pressure.   ordered twice and then more, big fail trying to be cheap ha. 

probably on to gears / shafts tomorrow while waiting for some ods and ends parts.  i think diff covers are the only thing i need to settle on making or buying. 


floor and roof tins ect, winch.

electrical and hydro instal cleaned up
spot painting the hard places as i go.

new open center 4 port orbital installed with rear steer spool valve in series.  works mint.  3.5 turns lock to lock (lots of steering angle!) and rear stear works great. 

thermostat had no bleed hole and would not open to allow engine to pass coolant.  gutted t stat and all good.  if i get a new one i might put a 3/8" hole in it and keep the stat functional. 


rips around good, gearing with 3.73 seems like it would be crawlable so 5.38s should be nice.   


on to hit list for a shake down run.  a little bit a fabrication left and wire/plumbing clean up.

lots of work left, but glad its moving, charging, cooling, holding oil. 


brakes and hubs / gears and such lol

fired up buggy. 

imediatly noticed power steering pump not happy, dead headed.


ran output hose direct to tank to ignore that / think about it.


fought with cooling system on and off for 2 hours, cant get to bleed, bah!

fuel system good
exhaust good
wiring good
transmission still good after re assembly


50$ grab bag orbital is wrong kind.  determined its closed center with 5th port load sense.  not open center with 5th port power beyond.
