Mack Cabover Ep7, Nasty 20 year old oil, Electrical problem kinda found and shift linkage. Parts!!

More progress, the other end of the shift linkage is kind enough to come apart and the oil change. That stuff was like TAR....
Also some general wrestling with electrical but we are getting pretty close to the fun stuff.

Still waiting on some shift linkage!!
Still waiting on some electrical and a few parts before the fun other stuff!

I want to drive this soooooo Bad!!!!
1983 Mack semi, left sitting after the owner lost his medical for his CDL. The Property was selling, so we had to get it running and out. This is the first start and hopefully restoration. Cool old Mack cabover, glad we could start to save it and put it back to work around the farm or for a fun cleanup show truck.
If it does not run away on us we want to move it this week. Digging that axle out was a chore and having a semi towed was worse.
