Default 4th gear, it's allright

Had a loooong day at work today and tonight is my bachelor night when my wife works a 24 hour eldercare shift. I have never driven my current project, a 46 tonner with an H six on the paved road. Sure, it isn't really ready for the open road, but it's off-season around here and I remember the hand signals from driver's ed, so thought I would go through the gears on our rural roads. Lots of mud on our gravel, and even the county road pretty wet, but sometimes a guy just has to see what he's got after a winter of wrenching. Anyway, it was a really fun drive. But now I've got the chickens in and the other animals fed so it's back to the project. I received a one wire alternator from UPS the other day so looking like a fabricated alternator bracket for a six tonight. Here's some pics from my ride. Oh, and 4th gear at about 45 was excellent by the way.....
