It's pretty funny to think that during the WW2 this truck was already quite old-fashioned, although still a perfectly usable workhorse.

My grandad collected them in the 60 and 70's and I still have several in my barn along with many extra pieces and parts, numerous engines and cabs and I have worked on them my entire life and have two that I totally restored and drive occasionally. If you not help or parts let me know. Im always glad to help someone get another one goin again. Idk where you are but I can toss some parts in my truck and come help you get it going, i actually made a unit that runs off of a 5 ho lawnmower engine and i use it to turn the engine over to start it, takes ten minutes to hook to the engine. Start the mower engine and engage the clutch and the engine spins

It is absolutely amazing that she still runs after 107 years! It is amazing after all ever single person that anything to do with her is has now past. From her engineers who designed her to her machinist that made her parts to the men who assemble her and the person or persons one who purchased her.

Look forward to seeing more on this one. Would be interesting to seeing her done up as a WWI army truck.

Magnetos will lose magnetism after sitting for a long time. Remagnetising them was a common thing once. It sounded like the mag starting impulse was clicking just fine too.
