Planning for the weekend

Well, I've got a plan for this week, leading up to Saturday, when Billy comes over to help haul off the grain box sides to the scrapper. He's also going to help my take off the master cylinder, which is stuck. One of my main projects before I put Big Red away for the winter is to try to get the brakes working. I've read online that these old master cylinders are pretty simple, so I'd like to try to rebuild mine before resorting to buying a new one.

So, up until Saturday, I'm going to try to remove the front panel of the grain box, which remains stubborn. Also, I've decided to remove the wood from the flatbed. The hope is to salvage the wood by flipping it over since the under side is in better shape than the exposed top side.

I also wanted to post this video of a nice KB-6 that I found on YouTube. It's a 1947, but that doesn't matter - it's the same as mine. Another image to chalk up as "the plan."
