Paul did a fantastic job crating the 403 for it's journey from Mo. to AZ.
Picked it up at the dock this afternoon and uncrated it.
The freight company was UPS Freight, $ 252.00
That crate made it here in better shape than most packages I send UPS and
I retired from there 20 years ago, some things never change.
Going to put seals, gaskets and block off plates in before the install.
Got started this morning removing the bad motor from Frazier's coach.
Will keep you posted on progress.
A great big THANKS again Paul.
We will send your tie downs back to you.

Jim, keep us posted. I am up in Fremont now at Applied GMC. Will be a couple of weeks before I get back that way.
Mr Frazier is very fortunate to have such a friend as you.
I know Paul to be a great guy too. Glad he was the one that could help yall.

No,,,please don't bother to send those tydowns back. I've got lots and those are the thinner cheap ones. I was lucky enough to make it all out of scrap. I thought it would help to tie the front and rear of the crank to the pallet.I went to install the dist. and found it was too tall. Or the top was too low. We recieved 12-13 inches of snow and last night just got 2 inches more. I wish the bad weather hadn't held me up and let me ship it sooner. Oh,,, more snow predicted for sunday night and tuesday night. Am going to work on raking it off the roof tomorrow!!! Some fun. Good luck on the install,,,,,PL

OK Paul.
I'll use them when I take the old motor over to Steve's.
Being originally from MN., I know all about the snow thing.
We also have a place up on the mountains, (7,000 ft.) here in AZ
and when we were up there a couple of weeks ago we had 18".
I spent 6 1/2 hours blowing that wonderful stuff out.
Thanks again for all the time you spent on getting that motor ready and
shipping it.
