-rebuilt monovalve -oil and filter change -repaired broken springs and put pool noodle in front seat -replaced broken gasket around power antenna -still can't fix radio antenna but took it all apart and wound the antenna out manually. Just a little bit to have radio reception. To cheap to buy used one for $40 from junkyard!(LOL) To cheap to buy the mast for $16! -replace air filter -replace battery -drain and refill differential fluid will replace fuel filters soon.

Valve Adjustment, oil change, fan shroud replacement.
I think this one came from a 240. It hit the fan every once in a while. Currently, 1400 miles away from the quarter million mark...
