Good Morning all! I am pages behind in the reading.
Mornin'!
I'm this close to firing up my engine for the first time. Haven't connected the trans cooling lines, though.
Would I be ok to just run a hose from in to out for a few minutes?
LA360/TF727.

Does your trannie have fluid in it? I wouldn't be afraid if it is just a minute or so. All the radiator does is cool it. Just don't allow it to get too hot.

Ok, let me know. I plan to be there either way. Might have some help from my brother-in-law...
Co worker still can't help. Four or five of us would knock that last bit out fairly quick.
It does, but only about half of what it should be. It was empty when I got it and I could only get about 4 qts in it. I suppose the torque converter is empty too.
I don't have any exhaust on it so it probably won't be running for long.

I'm gonna try, but not counting on him after the last round. I figure if I get even a little more prep done tomorrow, the rest should go quick. There isn't much left to clean off - that took a lot of time
Yes, the 93 year old guy across the street who knew my grandpa real well. He's the one that I was taking to the farm stand with me as his eyes are so bad that he can't see good enough to drive anymore.
The lady behind him gave them a hard time when it fell about 5 years ago when his wife was alive. She had a heart condition and dimentia. The lady complained to the power company to get the power shut off before they could get their pole replaced, so he had to pack up and go to his son's house for a few days. His dog had ticks then and couldn't go. His son hooked up a generator to supply power to the furnace and I was watching the dog and filling the generator with gas at night for them...
Funny thing, one of the trucks from the utility company got stuck (again) in his yard (rainy and sloppy mud) and another truck had to come out and winch him back out. It got stuck last time that it fell.... :banghead:
They got it done much quicker this time, just a couple of hours.... (Funny how quick they work after quitting time on OT....)
They got him going last night... :cheers:

Me too! Happy Friday all......
I would wait and connect them to be safe. There was a recent thread about a guy who started his engine without the trans fluid filled and burned up the trans... Not worth risking...
Or is it the 5th day after Monday??? :scratch:
Or the 1st day of the WEEKEND!!! :drunken:
Hey there, Anders, Keith, Karl and TMM
Morning, got some reading to do!
Hello everybody! :wave:
Morning Karl, we have the wind here today!
Looks like another free day today for me to work on the GTS. Blasting and painting Hardware and attaching bolts to install engine and trans soon. Maybe next week it will be running.
It will be great for you to hear it run!
It seems to have calmed down today, but they are still predicting some wind gusts, good luck over there and I hope your power stays on...
I am trying to re arrange the garage for the winter, amazing how much stuff you can accumulate in one summer!
Very windy here today and tomorrow. Rules out Deer Hunting. They usually lay all day on windy days.
You fart here I lose power, second to last house on this grid in these parts! Need to make sure I have gas for the generator though.....
