gafarm49 Posted December 31, 2017 Share Posted December 31, 2017 Bought this ragged 1086 off an auction. Power steering and brakes are weak. Poorly done repaint is peeling. It's going to need a new cab skin from triple r. Let the work begin. Well soon anyway I Had knee replacement 3 weeks ago. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gafarm49 Posted January 3, 2018 Author Share Posted January 3, 2018 One good thing about this one is the doors are not rusted out. The cab skin is though. That's kinda strange Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B.B. Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 The 986 I just picked up has two different wheel centers too. I think they are 3 1/4" where your 10 has 3 1/2" otherwise I'd be trying to swap with ya, as I'd like them to match.  If you find that piece at the cab top under the roof, and behind the flashers I need to know where to get one as well. My 1486 is rusted through there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafarm49 Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 I think the wheels are the same, one side has a removal tool on it. Maybe someone will let me know. Haven' had time to look in to it. I' gonna do the cab skin replacemet after I deal with some mechanical issues. I have some front end wear to address, weak steering and brakes TA lever is unhooked. I want to find out if the TA is deleted or what. I want a working TA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B.B. Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 Yep you're right. I looked on my phone and one looked like the 6 hole center and the other looked like the 12 hole center. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
