Wow - good for you! You must’ve been a lot nicer than I was. I was hoping for half track parts but all I got was a horse and he got away. At least I’m assuming someone gave me horse, just going by what I found in my Christmas stocking. Have a safe & happy New Year Prestone!

Prestone,

What kind and how much grease are you going to put in the water pump bearing section?

Thanks and your project looks great!

I believe the oil filter housing would be:
 If short DeLuxe - Red
 If tall Mil Senior - Black
 If engine has been government rebuilt most likely no matter what style it would be green with a red dot applied to the lid.

I do have decals for all White DT ACC half-tracs  (coolant, air and oil filter) except the short DeLuxe those are in the works.
