Tuesday Afternoon
And what a beauty she was! It was a great drive out to the barn this afternoon. The Canada geese were winging their way south, it was warm and sunny and the Moody Blues were on the radio singing what else, Tuesday Afternoon! It almost made this cynical old soldier feel downright hippy-like.
Bob was at the barn filling an army trailer with split wood for the long winter nights that will surely come soon. After we loaded the trailer, we headed back into the bush to harvest more vertical energy. We were joined by Bruce, Bob's next door neighbour, who filled another army trailer with the smaller diameter wood from the upper branches. He too burns wood to heat his place. While Bruce took on that chore, Bob and I felled a few more substantial trees, that shook the ground when they fell. Bob got a two for one deal on one cut: a big old maple we cut fell into a good sized birch and took it down with it. The rest of the afternoon was spent hauling the very big and long sticks back to the ever growing wood pile. Just as it was starting to get dark, we dumped Bruce's last load and sat around and drank some beer. We reflected upon the excellent weather we've had over the past four days and the amount of wood we all hauled out of the forest. Bob, ever the gentleman thanked us all (including Grant in absentia) for the help. It was good hard work, and Bob was very appreciative, but to me, it is nothing less than "paying the bills".

Hup bumper mounting brackets
I got a request for photos of the HUP (44 or older) bumper mounting brackets. Believe it or not, I only had one HUP nearby with said brackets. They appear to be 8 inch by 4 inch plate metal (same thickness as the frame) that has been bent 90 degrees forming an even "L" shape. As seen in the photo, the end of the frame side bracket has been cut on an angle leaving approx one inch bottom of the bracket. Three holes are drilled on the frame mounting end which held rivets, and four holes drilled in the bumper end to match the "D" rings. I am not sure if the weld was a post war mod or not.

There are some odd mixtures of bolts and rivets too, some of them can be explained by assembly order and access, others look like either a rivet failed and was replaced by a bolt or someone either had to remove a part that had been riveted and used bolts to reassemble or sometimes another part was added that used an original rivet hole, drilled out and replaced by a bolt.

Sunday at the Barn
Not much to report from the barn. I spent the morning cleaning up rusty parts and organizing the shelters for winter. More parts were sent to the shed, which is now well-stocked with CMP parts that will see future use. Bob worked on his wheels preparing them for mounting. Grant buzzed around the barn working on bits and pieces including his seat frames. We also chatted about the manuals that popped up on MLU recently. This forum is a never ending source of ideas, parts, and reference material.
After a quick lunch at Mike's Place in Hammond, Grant and Bob did some "boxing" - see pic below. There was some confusion as to how the long tool box with the one piece lid actually fit on the frame of a C15 cab 11. Any ideas? Grant and Bob "boxing":  Bob then tended to the seasonal display of lights. Grant headed back to work, and I headed home to clean up the back yard - a herd of 6 year old boys invaded the place and as is their practice, left their marks. I wish I could use all that energy at the barn!

Boxed in.....
Was trying to take some measurments and pictures for Gordon.......
Info will be posted on MLU eventually..... Part of my problem is how the tool box was fastened to the frame.....of course itr was 5 years ago when I removed it and I can harldy remember last week. ...but I do have pictures.... and some hand drawn sketches. Originally the tool box was intalled..... over the T case frame crossmember...but in my situation the previous owner has\d change the Tcase for a 2 speed with sticks out higher in the suqare opening of the corss member...... which implies that some wood spacers "may" have been used. I remember that my tool box was held by J bolts that went through the bottom of the box The bottom of the box is also drilled for two different frame width.... the inside holes are even with the C15a frame rails... the second set of holes are about 6 inches wider......and are not drilled completely through the bottom of the box...... Pictures will help sort out the holy issue. Meanwhile..... if anyone has a reasonably original box set up I would be interested in how it is mounted to the frame. BooB

Nstr
It has been quite quiet at the barn. The focus in the past two weeks has been domestic. Bob has been working on wood and exterior Christmas decorations. Grant has been busy taking care of an ailing parent. Other than puttting on the snow tires at the barn, I've been tethered to my significant other (the wife, that is) preparing our house for sale. I hate painting walls (unless they are CMP vehicle walls), but that is my fate for the next few weeks...
Best wishes for a speedy recovery go out to Grant's father.

Finally, the Mud is Gone!
A quick visit to the barn was in order after lunch for the sole purpose of removing the accumlated snow from the seven shelters in the barnyard. I could not drive to the barn as the access road was snow covered. My Toyota sedan is not known for its cross country ability, so I gum-booted it to the barn. The barnyard is now a frozen, snow covered winter wonderland. The snow-blower was sitting under a nice blanket of snow, while the tractor was parked in the barn. I'm pretty sure I know what we will be doing this weekend...
We got about 15cm of the white stuff yesterday and a few more cm today. The average daytime temp is about -5oC and the wind is blowing out of the north. The shelters definitely required a good roof scraping. This was accomplished in short order with a snow rake...yep, a snow rake. For the snow-deprived, it is just a long pole with a plastic blade on the end designed for pulling snow off of a roof. It saves using ladders and helps to prevent falls -sometimes... My 45 and Prototype shelters, Bob's "Ted" shelter were not overburdened as they benefit from being in the constant wind. However, Bob's shelter nearest the barn, Grant's two and Clive's shelter had a considerable build up of snow and ice. These shelters are "sheltered" from the wind so the snow tends to build up and stay put. It took about 15 minutes to denude the shelters. Unfortunately, no CMP work got done this day as I had a prior engagement with my son to build a snow fort when he finished his homework. One of these December days, we will have something more substantial to report.

Thanks for the scraping.....
I will have to get my mind in gear or in Winter mode...... I just plum forgot that the heavy first snowfall was sitting on the canvass shelters......Thanks for the clean up......
You should post the graffiti on the barn roof..... Got in late last night and Joyce told me that you had reported vandalism at the barn..... I immediately panicked and was almost out the door before she explained that I better ready see the picture from your email...Phew!!!! Will be out an about for 9 am Saturday to do some sno-blowing and get ready for Gilles who is dropping off the HUW hulk sometimes before noon. will use the tractor to pull it into the back field. Kris will probably be dropping by. Not sure if Grant is pulling overtime this weekend... Boob

At least the snow will slow down the mosquitos. But I'll still kill any that dare to stick their long pointy noses anywhere near me, whatever the season.

Bob, regarding the tool box mounting on the 2B1, if you study some of the pictures, the bottom of the tool box is at the same level as the top of the longitudinal sill under the main box. On the 2A1, the longitudinal sills run full length of the box and tool box so when the box isn't installed on the truck the tool box is still in place. I imagine the 2B1 was the same before some farmer or the like got hold of it. (Just before posting this I looked at a drawing in Gregg's Military Vehicle Profiles and it doesn't have full length sills so?)
These pix show the U bolts on the 2B1 on a Cab 11 F15A. The 2 wheel drives have a wider frame is why they made those sills that way. You just use the other holes in the sills and the top flat iron sticks out on the outside of the frame instead of on the inside. In my body parts list the first type 2B1s used U bolts on the tool box and the later types used J bolts. Yours being a Cab 11 it should be the first type so should use the U bolts the same as on these box pix. Is your box originally off your truck or what?
