    Desperation and a stuck exhaust motor after shutting the stove off for 4 days.
    Grabbed the hypo syringe and dripped in what I had on the shelf. :picard:

    The next step is gonna be to swap out the fan motor with a new ball bearing unit I bought as a spare.

    I am not in love with the bronze bushing set up.

    Buttttttttttttt, the motors that is in the stove is the one that it left the factory with..... can't really argue with that.

    I will likely just get a bottle of Anderol and keep the old motor in there until it croaks.

    It's quiet and smooth, just sticks after running weeks on end and then sitting cold for a few days.

    Ahhhhh well.

    Gotta love the salt eh ???

    Brake lines sort of rot off as does everything else.

    Hope it goes well.

    All is well.
    One stove running this morning and the weather is settling down some.
    Gonna be dry for a few days and hopefully tomorrow we can go get a load of shells.

    We plowed through a metric buttload this past several weeks.

    Saturday we did indeed go and get the little white Prize ferried home.
    All went real well with zero issues.

    Very pleased with it too.

    This little Safari is gonna be a sweet "Franken Cat" for sure :yes:

    Here are a couple pix of the $250 prize
    Couple small dings, but zero rust.
    Interior needs a touch of cleaning, but otherwise is great.
    All the systems work as they should too.
    Digital dash display works perfect (A real plus)
    Tranny shifts fine

    Just a great little rig.
